o The message was not necessarily difficult to craft, but it did require me to be careful of what I was saying and how it would be perceived. Whenever discussing spending cuts, employees antenna’s start to raise. Employees can begin to panic and sense of anxiety can linger around the workplace. It’s important to be specific but mindful of the type of words/language being used.

o The factor(s) I considered were things that were definite. I knew from the paragraph these definite things
    o There was a cut
    o The contract was being cut
    o People’s jobs will be adjusted
    This is what I focused on. The factor that people may be layed off was not a definite and I did not consider it being discussed in my message.

o The factors and questions that I considered about this message were the following
    o Who’s my audience
    o Does this effect everyone in the room
    o How much information should I share with the group
