When Pierre was hired as a junior program officer at a public institution, it was explained to him that every new employee is eligible for up to $1,500 annually for training. He requests approval to take a course in July as he feels is crucial for his current position and his future career. His manager rejects his request because most of the team will be on vacation over the summer and the training budget allocations have already been spent for the fiscal year by other team members who were involved in a national project. She informs him that he can make a request for training in the next fiscal year. Pierre feels that his manager's approach in this matter is unfair and unjust. He informs her that he would like to discuss the issue further with the director.
