Question:
Hazel is working on a school project with Oliver and she's very frustrated. This is the third time that Oliver hasn't shown up to their in-person meeting with no notice. Infuriated, she opens her email and writes a scathing message that says:
Oliver,You clearly couldn't care less about me or our project, seeing as you continue to waste my time by failing to show up for our meetings. The least you could do is send me an email or a text message to let me know. I'll be reporting this to the instructor and asking to change partners.
Good riddance, Hazel
a) Consider both the message content and the mode (email) chosen to deliver this message. Was this a professional way to address the situation? Why or why not?
b) If you were faced with a similar conflict, how would you professionally communicate your concerns to Oliver?
