Question

Ed recently began working at a new job. Although he’s been in his new job only 5 weeks, he likes it a lot, and he’s told you that he sees a real future for himself with this company. But last week, a problem arose. Along with all other employees, Ed was invited to the annual company banquet, at which everyone socializes and awards are given for outstanding performance. Ed’s daughter was in a play the night of the banquet, so Ed chose to attend his daughter’s play rather than the company event. The invitation to the banquet had stated only, “Hope to see you there” and contained no RSVP, so Ed didn’t mention to anyone that he couldn’t attend. When he arrived at work the next Monday morning, however, he discovered he should have rearranged his plans to attend or, at the very least, should have told his supervisor why he would not be at the event. That Monday, Ed talked with several co-workers who had been around a few years, and he discovered that top management sees the annual banquet as a “com- mand performance” that signifies company unity and loyalty. Later in the day, Ed had the following exchange with his manager. ED’S MANAGER: You skipped the banquet last Saturday. I had really thought you were committed to our company. ED: My daughter was in a play that night. ED’S MANAGER: I don’t care why you didn’t come. We notice who is really with us and who isn’t. PS: write more than 500 words

Explanation / Answer

Ed is new to the company and yet to know the customs of the company. Even the invitation just invites us and does not habe any orders to come under any circumstances. Ed went for avalid reason . So Ed is safe and is not in any kind of danger however when we consider the management we have to follow some protocals which will be noticed. Ed missed this and hence can be liable to go into bad books of the management as the manager said .
