Question: Recruiting Nicky, Manoj and Benita was part of a larger initiative to make the organization attractive to prospective employees. Recently Amelia’s boss informally told her that the trio’s perception of the organization might influence future recruitment from top B-schools. However, the trio had already expressed their unhappiness about the organization to Amelia. She suspected that her promotion due next year might depend on the trio!
Which of the following is the BEST way for Amelia to deal with this situation?
The trio's unhappiness has not been explicitly mentioned as one cannot be sure about the behaviour of Amelia towards the trio. So, eliminate option 1.
Option 2 is an implied bribery and is unethical on the part of Amelia. So, eliminate option 2.
Option 3 is unprofessional in nature and does not do anything to help solve the problem of Amelia's boss. So, eliminate option 3.
Option 4 will be selfish on the part of Amelia to look out for herself in such complicated situation.
Option 5 puts forth a viable solution for all the people involved.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
