ABSTRACT

Ben has just had a morning meeting with his supervisor. During the meeting, the supervisor rudely and sarcastically informs Ben that he will not be receiving the big promotion he has been expecting. Although Ben is furious, he tries to control his anger, as he does not wish to jeopardize his job. Nonetheless, Ben cannot stop thinking about his supervisor’s insulting comments and how much he would really like to tell him off. The more he dwells on it, the more upset he becomes. Finally, at the day’s end, Ben sees his supervisor in the hallway. Ben can no longer restrain his aggressive impulses and loudly berates his supervisor.
