Recently, while visiting the college placement office, the professor was surprised to hear that Sandra had told the placement director that she was looking for another job. Since she’d been with the consulting company less than a year, the professor was somewhat surprised. He called Sandra to find out why she wanted to change jobs. She told him, “I guess you can say my first experience with the real world was a ‘reality shock.’ All day long, I sit and talk on the phone, asking questions and checking off the answers. In graduate school, I was trained to be a manager, but here I’m doing what any high school graduate can do. I talked to my boss, and he said that all employees have to pay their dues. Well, why didn’t they tell me this while they were recruiting me? A little bit of accurate communication would have gone along way.”
