  Communication is vital in our daily life and it is even more indispensable in the activity of

a company, but here we talk about a more effective type of communication usd for certain

 purposes of not only to transmit information from the Sender to the Receiver, but also to

create a network where all the employees connect and interact afectively and practically. This

is actually the opposite type of communication than the one practised in a Romanian game

called ”wireless phone”, in which there is one person that plays the role of the Sender and he

transmits slowly and quickly something to the person next to him, more precisely to his ear,

whose role becomes the one of the Sender, who communicates further the reproduction of the

word/words that he has heard and so on. Finally, when the last participant of the game has to

reproduce the message and confront it with the message delivered from the beggining, there

will be rarely cases when the two messages match, because transmiting on message from ear

to ear, some ”noises” will intefere in the correct decodification. I chose to bring this example

as i consider it is a proof of how the reproduction of a message can affect the meaning of it

and can lead to various interpretation that may not have anything in common with the starting

version.

in this case, the message that came from Rick and actually the company and reached the

temporary employees could not be measured in terms of understanding. The Sender does not

know if his message was clear enough after the decoding process nor if the Receiver has a

feedback after his interpretation. The barieer is to be formed in the illusion oh the phisical

 presence, the Sender has a strict message to transmit and he needs no ”bruise” to divert him

from the path. In my opninion, such a critical announcement demands a face-to-face

communication, in order to start th conversation from equal positions, where no one gains

 power over the other. In the example given, the Receiver of the message has not any chance tp

express his point of view, he may feel as an isolated, unuseful person and this may trigger th

manifestation of the lack of confidence and could lead to a negative outcome. But, this can be

seen as an efficient tool in the managing of urgent tasks if we think about big companies with

a large amount of employees or with offices located in different parts of the world and where

a personal notification it seems as a waste of time and money.

This is a negative way of communication, as the unsatisfied layed-off employees are free to

interpret Rick ’s choice as a proof of disrespect toward the work they submitted. Anyway, on

the other side of the issue, these employees were in their probationary period so they might

have expected to such a refusal. At its basis, communication is defined as an exchange of

information, emotions, feelings, but in the case presented we are facing only one-way type ofcommunication, when the Sender encodes the message and sends it virtually to the Receiver,

whose reaction is not taken into account. In this way, the Sender does not receive any

feedback and the Receiver may experience feelings of frustration because of the blocked

opportunity to express his position. My advice is that Rick to set a meeting where all the

Receivers of his message to come and to be allowed to speak about this decision.
