Not knowing when she would get paid or even how much was worrying her because she was never sure if she could pay her rent the next month. The company struggled financially, mainly because there were no new projects coming in. Being faced with this situation every day let Mary believe that this is normal. Her motivation to go to work, however, was basically not existent.
