Arianna, is a highly enthusiastic employee who is working with Luxe Resources found herself in a situation where her boss Linda does not show any interest in the opinions of her staff. This situation is different than her previous experience working with Brian in Scentome Ent. who would reward his staff on every  attempt and innovative solution. He does not mind allowing mistakes to happen without a serious punishment. Unlike Brian, Linda seems to be selfish and egoistic knowing that her position is above than everyone else. She likes to blame others when things go wrong without giving a room for discussion and make decisions without considering the rest of the team including Arianna. When the team did things right, she would be taking credit to impress the upper-level management. Arianna feels disappointed that Linda also did not take command of the group, not proposing any solutions to problems or not helping others to improve their work. In the past few weeks, Arianna noticed that she was not as engaged or productive with her work as before. She found it difficult to focus on day-to-day tasks and filling the weekly reports became harder and harder. It seems like she is losing her touch. She went on vacation to calm down to come back better. Yet, for the same reason, she is still failing both on a professional and emotional level. Given the current situation, Arianna loses all her motivation in Luxe Resources due to the lack of self-expression and motivation. She realized that she needs to do something to solve the problem so that it does not get any worse and ruin her career.
