The Terminator As you read the passage below, consider what would be a more effective communication strategy in this situation. Tyler recently received a promotion at his workplace and now oversees a small group of new employees. While spending time with the new employees, Tyler has begun to bond with one in particular, Joey, who reminds him a lot of his younger brother. Tyler takes it upon himself to take Joey under his wing and make sure he succeeds within the company. One day, Tyler's boss notifies him that they have to make some cuts in the company, and that includes some of Tyler's employees. The terminations are based on evaluation scores, and Tyler is devastated to see that Joey is in the terminated group. Later that day, Tyler sends a short e-mail to his employees informing them of the cuts, and sends Joey a separate e-mail inviting him to get together after work for drinks, so that he can tell him about the termination face-to-face. Tyler and Jocy meet up after work, but Tyler doesn't have the courage to terminate Joey. By the end of the night. Jocy still believes that he is employed, and Tyler feels even worse for not telling him. Questions to Consider 1. Was Tyler correct in terminating his employees through e-mail? Why or why not? 2.
