Class 3, week 12 – Conflict Resolution

Name

Institutional Affiliation

At my first job at a real estate firm, on asking my boss about the reporting time to work, he mentioned 8:00-8:30-9:00 a.m.. I did not bother to ask about the exact time, therefore, I chose 8:30 a.m. as the middle ground. A few months down the line, my boss called me into his office and read various timings he had written down on my reporting time over a number of days instead of reporting at 8:00 a.m. I mentioned what he had said on the first day, but said that it was a lie. Given another chance, I would have asked for clarification on the reporting time to reduce chances of occurrence of such a conflict that left me viewing the boss as a dishonest man.
