Work group completes project-meeting big deadline

Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM132205771

A work group completes a project, meeting a big deadline, and the manager invites everyone to a celebration after work on Friday. People are delighted - except Philip, who is an Orthodox Jew. Rather than say anything about Friday night being his Sabbath, Philip just doesn’t show up. The manager assumed that Friday evening is a time for going out and that everyone could attend. Philip assumed that his manager wouldn't understand his religious observance, or even worse, didn't care. When Philip didn't attend, his manager concluded that he wasn't a team player. His co-workers assumed he was a snob.

What should the manager have done differently? Why?
