Joy Patterson was faced with endless problems dealing with her disrespectful manager who applied an inappropriate management strategy. Patterson felt undermined and bullied since her manager not only reprimanded but also yelled her in public. Being well experienced, she felt disturbed when Susan Cartright exposed her mistakes in a meeting instead of informing her privately. In addition, the job required her to relocate to a new city and live away from her family. The cost of living in the new city was extremely making everything difficult for her. This shows that Patterson was presented as a person whose efforts and experience was not recognized.
