What to say in today's toughest workplace situations
Whatever trust previously existed between employer and employee has been torn into millions of pink slips, thanks to the latest recession. As a result, the rules for how managers and employees can successfully communicate have been irrevocably changed.
Whether you're a manager or employee, Workscripts explains what to say in life's toughest situations at work, including:
- Negotiating severance
- Performance reviews
- Responding to a pay cut
- Asking for a raise or promotion
- Terminating a friend
- Job interviews
- Dealing with difficult bosses
- And many more
