Work situation Parallel to this, in the psychiatrist’s interviews, Jeannine alludes to how her work situation has changed since her initial hiring over a year ago, in an organisational environment where the margins of autonomy were experienced as adequate, with a line manager she described as “understanding”; her responsibility for one department was shared with a colleague working part-time and with whom she was free to negotiate how they organised their working hours, as long as between them they covered the customer helpdesk in this store open to the public for fifty-two hours a week.
Jeannine is no longer satisfied with, and even less proud of, this fragmented work, which is neither completed nor pending, of which she can no longer see the end, of which she no longer has a view of the bigger picture. This is work that, for her, has become unrepresentable and that is scarcely any longer presentable for the evaluation of others. Her coming to awareness of the connections between her current mental state and the characteristics of the work organisation leads to a rapid decrease in Jeannine’s anxiety and sleep disturbance.
