The vignette, “Wrong Send-Bad Message”, describes how Paul, a young manager, vents his anger and frustration about Doug, his boss, by sending a text message to a friend. Alas, the message ends up in Doug’s mobile. To his surprise, Paul calls him a “slug” who “never listens”. Imagine how Paul’s boss feels about this.
How should Doug respond to this situation? Are there imperative steps that Doug must take to address what Paul has done? Does Doug have the prerogative to confront Paul about his apparent “name-calling”? Click here to view “Wrong Send- Bad Message”
