Essay

Marie has to choose between two jobs. The first job would give her the freedom to organize her own work schedule and to make her own decisions about how to handle workplace problems. The second job involves working for a boss who describes herself as a micromanager who expects that Marie will follow detailed instructions to the letter. Not wanting to put in the effort required to organize her own workdays and lacking confidence in her own capacity to reason through workplace problems, Marie chooses the second job. Is Marie displaying a positive disposition toward critical thinking or not? Explain.
