I absolutely hated that character in Working!!  I already dislike the whole abusive relationship comedy trope to begin with but what really pissed me off with this anime was that no one around seemed to care that one employee was physically attacking another employee, which made me dislike pretty much all of them.  That's why I dropped it the first time.

However, I did go back to it and I'm glad I did.  First, while that particular type of "comedy" continues, it does show how it's really messing up that girl's life and that she wants to get over it.  Not perfect but it's something.  If I remember right, the second season was much better all around.

More importantly, Yamada.  Troublemaker Yamada shows up and the vale of the show at least doubles.

Yamada made me chuckle, I'd like to see more of her. Most of the characters seemed dumb enough that I could forgive it, though it's true that it was more than just the manager that enabled Inami's shitty behavior. 

I vented to some friends about it last night, and the recurring theme I hear is that it gets more tolerable over time, so maybe I'll keep at it. If I still hate Inami by mid-season 2 I'll probably just cut my losses though. I don't like dropping anime that make laugh...I just need to decide if the annoyances outweigh the strengths I guess. 

Inami doesn't really get better. It's just that focus shifts a bit away from her. But it's really all about Yamada. If you don't watch the show because of her you're watching the show wrong. Though sadly the more the show goes on the less screentime she gets :(
