Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Less trust is lost between the manager and the subordinate when underpromising occurs than when a granted request i s rescinded, as long as the subordinate believes that the manager will make a genuine effort to meet his or her request. Underpromising occurs when the manager explains the uncontrollable factors that affect granting the request.While being sick is uncontrollable, the issue is staffing at the time of the actual request.
