Jenna, had always been a Type A with a high need for achievement. As a consequence, she decided to do her MBA, which would help her get promoted sooner than later at her present company. She currently had a mid-manager position that she had worked her way up to from a desk clerk position, in a Financial Trading company. Four months into her MBA program, she got engaged and was excited for her Summer wedding. However, the recent pandemic saw a lot of downsizing at her company, resulting in her having to take on extra work given by her boss. Due to the extra work at her company, she was lagging behind in her classes. It didn't help that her family was getting upset as she was unable to show up for any of the wedding planning sessions. That night, as she was about to lie down with a very persistent headache that she had been experiencing the last few weeks, she received an email from her MBA team members saying they no longer wanted her on the team as she had not contributed to the project. This was followed by a text from her boss saying, she should be prepared for a possible second round of lay-offs. Jenna felt no desire to pick up the phone, which had been ringing non-stop all evening. It was a call form her fiance that she no longer wanted to take or was excited about.
