A Case of Misunderstood Message
Indane Biscuits is located in an industrial area. The biscuit factory employs labor on a daily basis. The management does not follow statutory regulations and are able to get away with violations by keeping the concerned inspectors in good books.
The factory has a designated room to which employees are periodically called either to hire or to fire. On the National Safety Day, the Industries Association, of which Indane Biscuits is a member, decided to celebrate collectively at a central place. Each of the members was given a specific task. The Personnel Manager, lindane Biscuits, desired to consult his supervisors and to inform everybody through them about the safety day celebrations. He sent a memo requesting them to be present in the room meant for hiring and firing. As soon as the supervisors read the memo, they all got panicky thinking that now it was their turn to get fired. They started having ‘hush-hush’ consultations.
