hotel and purchased non-refundable airline tickets. One week before you
are scheduled to go on your vacation, a coworker has told your manager
that he needs to take the next week off, your vacation week, for a
family emergency. Your manager has told you that you have to miss your
vacation in order to cover your coworker’s shift, which means you will
lose your hotel deposit and airline tickets. Your coworker has had
several family emergencies during the past six months. You have been
willing to cover for him until now.- Identify your conflict management style.
