The rise and fall and rise
of Cynthia Smith
When Cynthia left university, she found a well-paid job in an investment bank. She worked very hard and never complained when her boss asked her to work overtime. In fact, she did her job so well that soon she was promoted to a more senior position. She got a pay raise and a big bonus at the end of every year. Even though it was stressful and she had to work very long hours , Cynthia enjoyed her job and almost never took any time off. She got on well with her colleagues and felt she was really part of a team. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt and Cynthia was made redundant. She started looking for another job, but because of the economic crisis there was high unemployment and it wasn't easy to find work. Eventually, she got a job in a factory. The career paths were non-existent and the working conditions were terrible (only £4 per hour), but it was better than being out of work. One day all the workers went on strike for higher wages. Their employer was furious: he fired everyone and closed the factory. Cynthia was unemployed again. What could she do to earn a living now? She decided it would be better to run her own business than to work for someone else, so she became self-employed . Now, she works from home giving financial advice on the Internet. She doesn't earn as much as she did at the bank, but she's happy because now she can take a day off work whenever she wants to. And she knows her employer will never give her the sack.
