Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Lisa | Female 32 - 38 Years old |
Description Early-Mid 30s. Overworked, Overtired, but not quite over it yet. A very determined individual who is always striving to be the best she can be. Skilled at applying a daily mask of emotions; she can take criticism cordially but will stress over the feedback when she is alone. Committed to her career, she hasn't seen the impact it's had on her mental health but her breaking point is fast approaching. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | George | Male 50 - 60 Years old |
Description Male 50s. Over it. Recognizes that his job is unnecessarily stressful, but he's past the point where he would be comfortable starting over at a new company. He's sacrificed his personal relationships and health over the years, but his recognition of that allows him to be more sympathetic and encouraging to his team than his bosses were to him. | ||
