We’ll select a few scenarios to depict from the following-

Scenario 1

Location: Office setup

Time: Post 8pm

Cast: Manager and employees

Gist: Two employees engaging in non-work-related activities during office hours. Their manager catches
them in the act but ends up scolding only one of them

Scene: Two employees Rahul Khanna and Aman Mehra engaging in non-work-related activities during
office hours. Their manager catches them in the act but ends up scolding only one of them

Rahul: Aman...Why do you work all the time? Come on let’s take a break and watch this new movie
quickly, our boss doesn’t seem to be around anyway.

Aman: We can do that after work can’t we, we only have an hour left let’s focus on completing this
project instead.

Aman is engrossed in work but Rahul persuades him further.

Rahul: Aman man...just throw your rule book out of the window; you deserve a fun break after all the
long and dedicating hours you put into each and every one of your projects.

Aman: Alright, alright, just for this once, but we better get back to work quickly.

Rahul and Aman watch a movie while their manager Anjali Sharma catches them in the act.

Anjali: (clears throat) Aman-Rahul? What is going on here? (ANGRRRRYY)

(Rahul is still chill, Aman looks frightened)

Aman: No Anjali, you’re misunderstanding- we were just doing work

Anjali : I can still see the movie running in the background- don't try to fool me
Anjali: Office premises is not a movie theatre for you. This is the least expected behaviour out of you
two. You weren’t hired to do this.

Either work or leave the office immediately.

Scenario 2

Location: Office setup

Cast: Manager(Prashant) and LGBTQ+ employee(Umang)

Scene: An LGBT individual is being used by the organization as a token employee to showcase how
inclusive and accommodating they are. But in reality, the management has strong aversion with them
and unconsciously prefer a straight person over one from LGBTQ+ community. The above situation can
be identified as an example of implicit attitude .

Prashant – Yes, Umang what happened, why you wanted this meeting?

Umang – Prasant, I want to discuss the client allotment that was given by you. Why I am not given
Decathlon, I have worked for it for past 3 months and my marketing strategies helped the client increase
25%sales.

Prashant – Decathlon is one of our largest clients and I wanted to make sure we have the best
representative for them from the company.

Umang – Prashant on what basis you decide that Pallavi is a better representative than me. I have
proven my skill and 25% increased sales of the client back up for the work and capabilities I have and I
can deliver.

Prashant – Umang, I’m not willing to argue. I feel Pallavi is better and easier to talk with. You are in the
company just be grateful for that. Now, don’t waste my time.

Umang – Oh, now I see the reason. You chose Pallavi over me bcoz I identify as Non-Binary from LGBTQ+
community. But Prashant my skills and capabilities don’t change with my gender identity. I am in the
company because of my talent and not of your inclusivity policy. Really saddened to hear this from you.
Thank you Take care.

Scenario 3

Location: Office Setup

Cast: HR and Employees

Scene: A male employee is facing harassment in the workplace by his senior. He is hesitant to file a
complaint with HR thinking no one would believe him and fearing judgement.

Characters – Boss (Neha), HR-male(Kunal), Employee(Sam)

Neha: Hey Sam, how are you?

Sam: Hello Mam, I am very fine, just a little burdened with work, how about you?

Neha: Haha, great great. You are so hard working(in a sexy voice). I’m feeling so tired
Sam: Yeah, I understand, you had a 6 hour long meeting with the clients.

Neha: Yeah, its already 8 pm and tomorrow is a Sunday, so you wanna come over for a movie night?

Sam: Sorry Mam, but I already have some plans for tomorrow.

Neha: I don’t like hearing a NO, you know.

Sam: I am really sorry Mam but I cant as I have some other plans

Neha: I hope you are aware that next week I am going to declare the list of promotions and I had my
eyes on you to move you to a managerial role

Sam (hesitantly): Ummmm, Yes mam

[List is out and Sam doesn’t get promoted]

Sam to Kunal: I am the most appropriate candidate for the promotion, my dedication towards my work
has also been noticed by the client multiple times.

Kunal: The list is put up by our Boss, so I cant really argue to her on her choice

Sam: My performance and the results that I have brought up for this company is self sufficient to prove
my worthiness for this promotion. In the last quarter, I have brought in 3 major project enhancements
which will have a high impact for the company. If I am not promoted, I don’t think anyone else here is
more deserving than I am

Kunal: I understand but why do you think you did not get the promotion

Sam(awkward tone): According to me, its because I refused to go on a date night with her

Kunal: Sam, are you really accusing your Boss for denying your promotion as a result of this action?

Sam: What other reason could it be?

Kunal: This is a serious accusation and it cannot be taken forward. Moreover, you should think twice
before taking up this to the HR. Do you have any proof for the same?

Sam: This came up in a conversation last week

Kunal: Sorry, without any valid proof, I am not going against our boss. Moreover, I highly doubt she
would have asked you out as she is very ethical and dedicated to her work. She wont let such things
come in her way.

Sam: But…………..

Kunal: Better focus on your work and give in your best for the next promotion date. Lets close this as I
have another important meeting to attend.
