  • 13 Musts for Breaking Bad News to Your Employees
    13 musts for breaking bad news to your employees Have to tell the troops about layoffs, an upper-level scandal, an imminent hostile takeover or divestment? Follow these essentials. SPONSORED BY: Lawrence Ragan Communications, Inc. 13 musts for breaking bad news to your employees Nobody likes to be the bearer of bad tidings, whether it’s news of layoffs, a product recall, a reduction in benefits, financial woes or an executive resigning under a cloud. Yet to succeed as an executive—or a communicator—it’s essential that you level with your employees. Transparency is an increasingly important goal for organizations. Internal communications expert Sean Williams says a related concept may be just as essential: authenticity. Publicly traded companies can’t always open their books to the world, but they can make a commit- ment to be straight—authentic and honest—in their communications, he says. This means holding to this promise: “If we’re asked directly about something, we’re going to answer directly,” Williams says. Here are more tips for successfully breaking bad news: 1. Prepare. Good messaging doesn’t emerge spontaneously, especially in times of trouble. At a previous compa- ny, Todd Johnson, now president and board chairman of Kollective, was part of a team that spent six hours preparing the chief executive for a 15-minute presentation onstage to employees. The leader didn’t do well at first. “He was going to sound like he was spinning,” Johnson says. “He wasn’t going to answer any ques- tions about layoffs. People were going to think there was some grand scheme behind all this, and none of it was true.” By working through it, the CEO boosted trust in his message.

  • Employee Free Speech in the Workplace: Using the First Amendment As Public Policy for Wrongful Discharge Actions
    Employee Free Speech in the Workplace: Using the First Amendment as Public Policy for Wrongful Discharge Actions LISA B. BINGHAM* I. INTRODUCTION A private-sector employer in the United States may fire an employee for the employee's political views. 2 During the 1992 presidential campaign, employers required that employees sit through a presidential candidate's stump speech as part of a company-wide captive audience. 3 Employees commented to * Assistant Professor of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University; J.D., University of Connecticut, 1979; Partner, law firm of Shipman & Goodwin, Hartford, CT 1979-89. This research was supported by a grant from The Fund for Labor Relations Studies, Ann Arbor, MI. The author thanks Professor Theodore St. Antoine, University of Michigan School of Law, for his comments on the manuscript and helpful suggestions. Professor Harry Pratter, Indiana University School of Law, also shared his insights and improved the manuscript with his review. The author gratefully acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Clark Johnson, who served as research assistant on this project. I As used in this paper, "private sector" employment includes all but government employment. The term includes nonprofit employers and private employers with substantial government contracts or grants. "Public sector" employment includes employment by federal, state, and local government, including municipalities, school boards, state institutions of higher education, and similar boards or commissions that represent political subdivisions of a state. 2 There are limited areas of protection for certain categories of expression. For example, the National Labor Relations Act protects speech on unionization. 29 U.S.C. §§ 157, 158(c) (1988).

  • Sample MBE III
    Sample MBE III July 1998 See Caveat Inside ® PREFACE The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is an objective six-hour examination developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) that contains 200 questions. It was first administered in February 1972 and is currently a component of the bar examination in most U.S. jurisdictions. CAVEAT! The 200 questions contained in this document appeared on the MBE administered in July 1998, which consisted of questions in the following areas: Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts. This document does not contain Civil Procedure questions. The purpose of this document is to familiarize examinees with the format and nature of MBE questions. The questions in this document should not be used for substantive preparation for the MBE. Because of changes in the law since the time the examination was administered, the questions and their keys may no longer be current. Also, because the MBE test specifications have changed over time, some of these questions may contain material no longer tested on the MBE or currently tested in a different subject area. The editorial style of questions and the general instructions have changed as well. Many of these questions are currently in use, sometimes with alteration, by commercial bar review courses under a licensing agreement with NCBE. Because these questions are available in the marketplace, NCBE is choosing to make them available online. Examinees are encouraged to use as additional study aids the MBE Online Practice Exams, which are available for purchase at the NCBE Study Aids Store at https://store.ncbex.org.

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.
