For this bad news message, I want you to use the AIM planning process, the FAIR test (Figure 11.11 in this chapter), and the components of Bad News Messages as described in Chapter 11, particularly pages 329 to 336. Case study: You are the manager for Macys Department Store and you manage 25 part-time employees. Many are retired individuals who are working to supplement their social security payments. It is difficult sometimes to hire and keep part-time employees because the pay is minimum wage and the hours change when you need these part time employees. Retirees have been very useful because they are available at all times and usually have good work ethic. Sara Smith is 66 years old, she has a Bachelors degree in Business and is working for you. She has shown up on time, works hard, and is very friendly. These qualities are great but upper management has complained to you about Sara. She is slow, they have seen her talk on her cell phone frequently, and she spends too much time talking to customers so other customers get frustrated when they need questions answered or to check out their items. You must tell Sara that she needs to be faster in her work, to limit her phone calls and to quit talking so much to the customers. Write out what you will discuss in a meeting you will have with Sara Read the components carefully to make sure you cover all of the points Be sure to look at this conversation from Saras point of view Write out how you will begin the negative review, how you will encourage Sara to be a better employee Make sure that this is professionally presentedie, headings, numbers, bullets to explain your ideas Submit the assignment in print form and have at class time on June 13. I need this assignment to be done in 5-7 hours
