Scenario: Schedule Conflict and Fairness
Amira checks her work schedule and sees she has been assigned a shift during a religious holiday she had previously requested off. She feels frustrated and disappointed because she had planned family commitments. Amira also worries about how her supervisor might react if she brings it up again. She does not want to seem unreliable, but she also feels it is important to stand up for her needs. Amira must decide how to handle the situation in a way that is respectful, fair, and focused on finding a workable solution.
