Bob, who works as a credit manager for a large bank, has a reputation for being a very hard worker. His convenient downtown apartment is located near the bank, which allows him to work undisturbed late into the night. Everyone knows that Bob loves his job because he has been with the bank for many years and hardly ever takes a vacation. He is a very strict credit manager and has the reputation for asking very difficult questions to loan applicants before approving any credit.
Nancy, Bob’s director, noticed that Bob had not taken a mandatory weeklong vacation for a number of years. Given Bob’s history of being tough on approving credit for the bank, should Nancy be concerned?
