1) There are 3 scenarios below; the annoying boss, the boring job, and pay and seniority. For each scenario, write down two specific behaviors in which you would actually do in response to that scenario and what you wish you would do.

2) Discuss your responses whether they fit into the exit-voice-loyalty-neglect framework. What personal and situational factors would lead someone to one category of responses over another? Are there any responses that do not fit into the exit-voice-loyalty-neglect framework?

Annoying Boss

You've been working at your current company for about a year. Over time, your boss has become more and more annoying to you. It's not that your boss is a bad person, or even necessarily a bad boss. It's more a personality conflict-the way your boss talks, the way your boss manages every little thing, even the facial expressions your boss uses. The more time passes, the more you just can't stand to be around your boss.

Boring Job

You've been working at your current company for about a year. You've come to realize that your job is pretty boring. It's the first real job you've ever had, and at first it was nice to have some money and something to do every day. But the "new job" excitement has worn off, and things are actually quite monotonous. Same thing every day. It's to the point that you check your watch every hour, and Wednesdays feel like they should be Fridays.

Pay and Seniority

You've been working at your current company for about a year. The consensus is that you're doing a great job-you've gotten excellent performance evaluations and have emerged as a leader on many projects. As you've achieved this high status, however, you've come to feel that you're underpaid. Your company's pay procedures emphasize seniority much more than job performance. As a result, you look at other members of your project teams and see poor performers making much more than you, just because they've been with the company longer.
