Matthew is upset that his company is implementing a new policy for submitting vacation time. The new policy requires an employee to provide a one-month notice when requesting time off and waiting for supervisor approval before an actual request can be confirmed. Matthew feels that the current policy, where employees can request time off at any time, still with supervisor’s approval, is sufficient and that a change is not necessary. He says, “It’s easier to just keep the old process in place.” In fact, he does not see how the new policy can be implemented without becoming an inconvenience to both employees and supervisors, causing inefficiency in scheduling. What is Matthew’s reason for resisting change?
