the initial workplace. However, the new manager is uncooperative and dislikes employee
involvement. Workers are expected to do specific tasks and avoid interfering with decision
making roles. Therefore, I believe that the major reason for Rohit’s disillusionment is the lack of
appreciation and motivation.
