Question

As owner and senior accountant at a tax preparation firm, Ben is changing the work schedule of all employees, including managers and accountants, for the months of March and April, the company’s busiest time. He is requiring everyone to work on weekends, just as he has during the tax-preparation season for the last ten years. How does Ben predict the employees will react?

Answer 1

Ben knows that his employees will probably complain a little, but not much. They will follow his example as a leader that also works with them during the weekends. They have been doing it for ten years, so it's no surprise to any of them.

It would be a completely different scenario if Ben didn't work with them during the weekends, then they would be very upset.
