Ada's behavior is a clear example of absenteeism, which refers to an employee's habitual or intentional absence from work. This is often associated with job dissatisfaction or other work-related issues. Turnover (A) refers to employees leaving their job altogether, whereas cynicism (C) is a negative attitude or distrust towards one's employer or job. Attrition (D) is the natural reduction in a company's workforce, often due to retirement or resignation, and is not necessarily related to job dissatisfaction.
