    Solution

    "In the dark" means to be unaware or confused about something. It fits the context of employees not understanding the policy. "In a pickle" means in a difficult or problematic situation, and "A fish out of water" means feeling uncomfortable or out of place, neither of which are directly about confusion over next steps.
