From the article: > Studies in people who develop apathy have shown that many of them just don’t find it sufficiently rewarding to take action. The cost of making the effort doesn’t seem worth the potential benefit. In a work environment, if the rewards don't come in a timely fashion, pretty soon you should be looking for something new. If you don't know who the patsy is, the patsy is you. And in a work environment, if you're not the kind of person marketing yourself, promoting yourself, that's another way that you might not see that effort/reward feedback loop get closed. Maybe it's executive functioning faults, or whatever, but it might not be easy to keep the motivation and the commitment at a high level unless your manager is really tuned in.
