At First, Caihong Loved Her Job as an Assistant Editor

question 61

Multiple Choice

At first, Caihong loved her job as an assistant editor at Bradbury Publishers. It was her dream job, made even better by the fact that her boss, Forrest, had a warm, inspiring personality and placed a lot of trust in his employees. He also had a goofy, witty personality that made everyone laugh. Caihong looked forward to work and felt personally committed to helping Forrest achieve his goals for the department. However, Forrest retired a few months ago, and his replacement, Bryan, is his complete opposite-a bottom-line-focused, unpleasant, demanding boss who is always questioning Caihong's and her team's abilities and decisions. Caihong never misses a day and still likes the actual work she does, but she has begun to find ways to avoid having to interact with Bryan. Which of the following has Caihong most likely started engaging in?

• A) checking her friends' Instagram pages and chatting with friends on Facebook
• B) updating her CV and combing through online job sites during her work breaks
• C) going over to the marketing department to chat with her friends Ellie and Salman
• D) fantasizing about quitting her job and going off to teach English in a foreign country
• E) taking longer than usual breaks and making excuses for missing department meetings
