The Royal Harbour Resort & Spa was a large hotel and spa with over 300 employees. In December 2010, the human resources manager was advised by the general manager that headquarters had ordered an immediate restructuring due to a decline in the hospitality industry, especially in the luxury hotel sector. The human resources manager was advised that she had to terminate the employment of their banquet manager — an employee of over 17 years. The human resources manager was instructed to prepare the severance letter by the following day and meet with the banquet manager on Monday to finalize the termination.
