Bad News Message Assignment Using the details from the scenario presented below, create a message that responds to your employees request. Format your message as an email; make sure you include a subject line. Your message goal is to inform Jim of the boss decision. Although the information will disappoint Jim, your message should help him to understand the rationale, believe you are reasonable, and still want to work hard for you and the company. Consider the tone and style, as well as message design, that will least upset Jim. Message Scenario You are a supervisor of a great employee, Jim. He works hard, gets along well with everyone, and never complains. Supervising him is the best part of your job! One day, Jim approaches you and asks for a raise. His points are valid: he has worked for the company for more than 6 months. He is always on time and works hard. He has become the go-to person in the department. And other employees who are less productive (and less cooperative) earn more than he does, simply because they have worked there longer. He is politely asking for a raise. You speak with the boss and as much as you try to convince her that Jim deserves a raise, she says no. He has to wait until his 1 year work anniversary, just like everyone else. She states that giving Jim and raise now would not be fair to the others who have been loyal to the company for many years. You promised Jim that you would email him with the boss decision as soon as you heard it. And now you have to deliver this bad news to Jim.
