Answer: This tendency to make assumptions is referred to as CLOSURE.

Explanation: CLOSURE is defined as the experience of an emotional conclusion usually to a difficult period. This is usually done bearing in mind that the experience is open to more than one meaning, interpretation or explanation. In this case, the information given to the employees is a polysemy/ambiguous making their assumptions referred to as closure.
