Description
For this week’s assignment, you are on your own to source articles dealing with workplace messaging. All types of messages occur within organizations. We address a few of those in this week’s assignment.
Post your responses/answers to the following four questions. You should cite a minimum of one outside source for each question.
Your answers must not exceed ½ page each. You are not required to respond to other posts in this assignment. Feel free to do so if you would like
Describe a time when you should have had a face-to-face meeting instead of sending an electronic message. Why would this face-to-face meeting have been better?
What is your strategy to avoid sending a direct message, text, or tweet that you might regret later on?
Describe an occasion in which you should have written a goodwill message expressing thanks, recognition and/or sympathy, but failed to do so. Why was it difficult to write that message? What would make it easier for you to do so?
4. Analyze the corporate jargon for getting laid off: realigning the workforce, reallocating resources, rightsizing the company, eliminating redundancy, rewiring for growth, smart-sizing the company, re-deploying workers, and re-balancing human capital.
How do these terms compare to “fired, booted out, given the boot, or get the ax?”
