before his promotion to the management cadre, he had been a supervisor for four years. his work
for that job had considerably been outstanding. it may be recalled that Kulkarni joined the company
as a trade apprentice. he did well in his training and his subsequent jobs. he rose to the job of a
supervisor in about six years. his human relations are generally good. his colleagues had wished him
well on his promotion. to improve the working of his shop, Kulkarni introduced some changes in his
shop. he reallocated the responsibilities of the supervisors and changed the shifts and machines of
some operators. he thought that this change would improve the working of his shop. however, from
that time onwards Kulkarni began to have trouble as foreman. the supervisors in his shop gave him
the silent treatment. the operators seemed to make mistakes even in doing simple things. every day
there was a machine shutdown. by the end of the quarter, Kulkarni's workshop was showing the
poorest production record in the whole of the plant.
