Rory has been an underwriting assistant at a large insurance company for the past few years. He is an extremely hard worker and goes above and beyond. He puts in long hours to ensure the accounts are current and ready for the underwriters. Noting his efforts, the company offers him a 15% pay raise along with a small bonus. Three months later, Rory submits his resignation letter and soon joins a startup organization as a senior underwriter. Which of the following best explains this situation?
A. Rory felt the pay raise was undeserved.
B. Rory found his work to be repetitive and boring.
C. Rory was motivated by the prospect of extrinsic rewards.
D. Rory was after a position with the competitor all along.
E. Rory, though highly skilled, lacked motivation

Answer:

B. Rory found his work to be repetitive and boring.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Rory is described as an individual who strives to be the best at what he does which is why he works so hard. The pay raise that they offered him at his current job was a good pay raise and it included a small bonus. Therefore, Rory did not care about the money. Instead, he most likely found the work to be repetitive and boring and probably wanted something new and interesting. Joining a startup and working on a new and innovative project where he can add real value to the team is most likely what Rory really wanted.

Sheridan Company, a machinery dealer, leased a machine to Dexter Corporation on January 1, 2020. The lease is for an 8-year period and requires equal annual payments of $31,448 at the beginning of each year. The first payment is received on January 1, 2020.
