question 92

Multiple Choice

Table 6.1
Three middle managers are discussing their attitudes about work over lunch. Lee is expressing how much he likes working for his boss, but he dislikes his current work assignment, and he says it's too tedious. He's looking forward to its completion so he can move on to more exciting work. Tim tells his luncheon partners that he's convinced he got his current position because his previous boss wanted to help him along in his career. (Tim doesn't know his previous boss couldn't stand him and wanted to move him out of his area.) Tim is very happy because he believes he has the right skill mix to be successful in his new position. Andrea tells everyone that she is looking for another job. She has been for several months, but "the right thing hasn't come along yet." She has advanced her career by changing jobs every 12-18 months. Their fourth luncheon partner, Leslie, is also unhappy on the job and looking for another position. She believes that her current boss is threatened by her competence and is holding her back from greater opportunities. Leslie wants to stay with the company but wants to work for someone else.
