You work as a supervisor at a local brewery, Flights of Finnegan, that has won multiple awards since opening in $2018.$ You have worked there since the very beginning, and absolutely love your coworkers, your job, and the atmosphere of the space. In the past year, the owners decided to grow the business, doubling the seating by expanding to create a new chill and fun space where people could drink and mingle. They have been working on it for the past six months but keep postponing the opening day due to a variety of problems that have arisen including permits, slow processes and, perhaps, poor organization.

What$$s more, due to the growing expenses that are not being offset by increased revenue, and the fading novelty of the space, sales are going down and the pressure to keep labour costs low is at an all$-$time high. The employees that are under you keep approaching you to raise concerns about being tired as they must now do double the work in less time, and do not have enough hours to make a living. The plummeting morale is resulting in the employees feeling as if their well$-$being is being disregarded by the owners of the company. Employees are burnt out, showing up late, and even starting to look for new jobs.

The morale at work is at its worst, and it is getting to the point where even your ownability to stay positive is diminishing. You decide to bring up the issues with the owners, and they inform you that there is not much they can do as they are running low on money and have to keep the business afloat. Lowering labour costs is a must; however, they are open to suggestions.

Draft a memo that suggests a way to raise employee morale while still adhering to the needs of the owners. Use the indirect persuasive memo structure to develop a convincing argument to support your suggestion.
