Fernando, a manager in a retail store, is changing the work schedule of his long-term employees for the holiday season. He is using the same basic schedule as he did last year. Fernando should expect that his employees will be:

I think the answer is D but I am not too sure.

The choices are
A) terribly upset and quit
B) terribly upset but not quit
C) moderately upset
D) hardly upset, or not upset at all

The reason I am thinking D is because its the same schedule from last year

I agree with you.

Thank you Ms. Sue

You're welcome, Melissa.

Hmmmm. How many employees in Retail are employed for that long? Turnover is high.

And secondly, were they terribly upset last year? Management is more complicated than canned activities.

To determine the most likely response of Fernando's employees to the change in work schedule, we need to consider their past experiences and preferences. Since Fernando is using the same basic schedule as last year, it is reasonable to assume that his employees already have some familiarity with this schedule.

Based on this information, the answer is likely option D) hardly upset, or not upset at all. This is because the employees are accustomed to the same schedule during the holiday season and are unlikely to be significantly affected or upset by the change.

It's important to note that individual employees may still have their own unique reactions or preferences, so it's difficult to predict with certainty how everyone will feel. However, given the information provided, the most reasonable expectation is that the employees will not be upset or only mildly upset.
