The correct answer is a) losing extra time to spend with his friends. Though, if he manages to arrange his new responsibilities, eventually he will recover or find this time again. Gil-Monte, P. R. (2012) refers that besides affecting the economies of the countries, promotions have consequences on the active labor population, as they influence employment options; social or family relationships; training needs; the updating of knowledge and skills; the rhythms of work; the availability of resources; the ordering of labor processes; Changes in job offers, and also on the health of the population.
