What would you do? - the stern manager
Scenario: You have a manager running a team of 6 people. One day you find the whole team working very late, and some seem to be idle not doing much work. You later find out that one of the team had made a mistake, resulting in an issue which had wide impact. The manager made the whole team stay until the issue was resolved. Some could work on the issue, but some couldn't contribute much. You think it's unreasonable to ask people to stay when they aren't able to help solve the issue anyway. When you privately speak to your manager, he says it's for the sake of establishing the right team spirit. The person who made the mistake needs to understand the severity of his carelessness, and learn to be more careful. The team as a whole needs to have the mindset that in times of hardship, they should help one another and simply be there for one another.
