Attitude

TWO WOMEN WORK in the same office and receive the same pay...

Anne complains that she is underpaid. She feels she's asked to handle too many things for someone on her salary level. She arrives dreading the day ahead and leaves tired and discouraged. Mary, on the other hand, is happy to have a secure job and enough money to pay her bills, with some left for extras and for savings. She looks at each task as a challenge and does her best to accomplish whatever is demanded of her. She arrives looking forward to the day and leaves happy to be heading home to her family, feeling good about what she's accomplished. Not surprisingly, after an employee review, Mary receives both a promotion and a salary increase. Anne is let go.
