Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The employees may feel that there is a lack of outcome fairness because the consequences for being drunk at work seem inconsistent. While five employees only received a reprimand, the other was immediately fired, suggesting that there is no clear protocol in place for dealing with such behavior. The other options (benchmarking, summary dismissal, downsizing, onboarding) are not relevant in this scenario.
