Another assumption is that women often took jobs for the wrong reasons (Gunn and Gullickson, 2007). That statement suggests that Karen’s gender may have been the reason she did not recognize her motivator instead of the fact that she may have just never thought about it. If a person obtains a job that will not gratify their main motivator then that person will be unsatisfied with their job. By making this assumption the article also implies that most women are not satisfied at work .Even though assumptions are drawn from this article, there are a few hypotheses made by the Pursuit of Unhappiness. Hypotheses, Variable, and Operational Definitions One hypothesis
Shawna became angry, she felt that is was not true and the only reason she cared so much was because she was doing it for the family. She became very frustrated and told ray that he was jealous of her and her career. Ray was shocked and became very angry. Shawna then realized what was said and took it back and apologized. She was being unfair because ray had taken some time for her to work, while he watched the kids.
Having a plan of action shows the board members that every aspect has been considered. Once Sally Martin was hired as executive project manager, she evaluated the progress that had been made and realized that because the initial analysis had been rushed, several key components to the success of the project had been missed. She did a wonderful job in creating a way to fix the problems but her superior was not pleased with her findings and considered it bad news. Lack of candor is present here because as a result of the negative feedback from her boss, Ms. Martin decided to never relay bad news again no matter what. Good communication would be the key to overcoming this situation.
In this case study she did not act in the appropriate manner and lost the company tremendous profit against this return, by not complying with the “customer is always right” and obliging with his request to receive a full refund and an apology. Instead, she missed the mark in her objective to settle the return process with a win-win outcome and lost the business a profit. The objective is to maintain customer loyalty with the return process. The most effective marketing tool is word of mouth if Sara’s interaction with the custom is unpleasant, the customer could speak to friends and families about his or her negative experience at the retail location and give the establishment a bad name. With the social media taking on such a huge role in marketing, the customers could blog or post his or her negative experience with the retail establishment and hinder his or her future profit.
This strikes me as a fear of change. He feels he is viewed as an estate agent, and although he has aspirations of a managerial position, he believes that others may not feel the same. He knows he is more than capable of doing the job as he has stood in for the current manager when he has been on leave. I think he feels that he coped then because he always knew the current manager would be returning to correct any potential mistakes? I also think he believes that the other office staff were happy for him to cover, purely because it was a short term thing, and potentially they couldn’t be bothered with the additional workload.
The new team of managers did not recognise Jillian's special talents and seeing her as a new recruit and a recent graduate they treated her differently and regularly complained about her work results. Jillian became quite depressed but she continued on in her work and tried to accept this change in her life. When the economy took a downturn and despite all her past efforts and achievements, the company chose her for retrenchment. Jillian was devastated. For the first time in her life she found herself without a plan and she found it difficult to accept that even though she was hard working and a high achiever and despite having put a lot of effort and energy in her work, that she would be discarded easily by her new managers.
Our self-concepts consist of our impressions and our beliefs about ourselves (Psychology and the Challenges of Life: Chapter 2.3.2, 2010).

She is first to criticize her father’s decision to discharge her from his works stating ‘I think it was a mean thing to do. Perhaps it spoilt everything for her’ and realises ‘these girls aren’t cheap labour-they’re people’. The audience discover that Sheila ‘used the power as a daughter of a good customer and also of a man well known in the town to punish the girl’ by getting her sacked from her job after ‘having caught sight of this girl smiling at Miss Francis’ and admits ‘If she’d been some miserable plain creature, I don’t suppose I’d have done it. But she was pretty and looked as if she could take care of herself’. Although Sheila’s thoughts don’t immediately change, she comes to realise the consequences of her actions and accepts some blame unlike her
