What are their choices if they cannot resolve their


Mary has accepted a position as Director of a Non-Profit organization that represents a cause she deeply believes in. Her pay is $28,000 per year. ..Her position allows considerable flexibility which is critical given her three school age children and family needs. Additionally, Mary works with many peers who she respects and her leadership essentially allows her the freedom to make decisions without too much upper management review. Mary's husband Bill works as a Computer Engineer for a large consulting firm. His pay is $95,000 per year. Bill's work requires many late hours and weekends, as well as a considerable travel demand. This means that Bill misses much of the children's growing up experiences and that Mary has to carry those responsibilities alone. Bill's peers are extremely competitive and the nature of the role allows little collaboration. Additionally, Bill's boss is extremely aggressive and a micro-manager. He and Bill clash constantly and the boss has been very antagonistic and anxious that Bill is "out for his job." Bill and Mary live in a part of the country where the median wage for a professional is approximately $65,000. Mary and Bill's dinner time conversations seem to regularly revolve around how dissatisfied with their careers. Evaluate reasons why each seems dissatisfied and recommend how each can work to improve their levels of satisfaction in the workplace. What are their choices if they cannot resolve their concerns?
