What do you think is the most demotivating part of Harper’s job?
The most demotivating part of Harper’s job was when her boss Jose had left six months ago. It was a big disadvantage for Harper because her and Jose had got along well. Things always seemed to go smoother when Jose was her boss, but ever since he had left, Harper has had to take additional work which had affected her work/life balance. Also Harper’s new boss David didn’t help much either as he manages the whole team, which resulted in him having less time to dedicate to helping her prioritize her work or focusing on her development.
