Question

Ferdinand had been working as a waiter at The Fish Shack for about a year. At first, he really enjoyed learning the job and interacting with the customers, but he has recently become bored and only plans to continue until he can find a new job. What is Ferdinand experiencing?

*stagnation
*maintenance
*avoidance
*termination

Answer 1

*stagnation

Stagnation is when you find yourself lacking any true connection or passion for the work that you're doing. You don't actively hate it, you can still cope with going every day and completing your tasks, but the excitement of the beginning learning curve is gone and you just kind of exist.

Answer 2

Answer: Stagnation

Explanation:

Stagnation simply means lack of activity, growth, or development. In this instance, Ferdinand has responsibility, he is doing more and the regular work he does, but it isn’t harder work that is quite challenging and leads to career development and growth. What he is experiencing at the moment is career stagnation and by leaving his present job, there is a chance he would find more challenging work to reinvigorate his enthusiasm at work.
