Hello Professor and class,
I believe it is the company’s responsibility to inform all their employees when developmental processes arise. First, I would remind the vacationer’s supervisor that one of their subordinates is on leave and should be notified of the policy changes. Then I would then collaborate with the vacationer that the company has been developing policy changes during their absence and send him the adjustments. Afterward, it is up to his supervisor to voice his opposition to the policy changes. I expect that the company is responsible for their action and will learn from this incident. Otherwise, this situation demonstrates that the company lacks leadership and needs to consider new leadership or retrain those in that role. Moreover, when the administration doesn’t do their job or gets away with these issues, it will lead to a toxic environment that I would not want to be involved in.
