Company morale and the grapevine have an effect on a company's well being. Provide an example of how the grapevine caused upheaval or concern in your company's workforce, and comment on the way lower, middle, or upper management addressed the issue. Did they address it effectively and promptly? or did they let it "fester" until it was an issue of even greater concern? What would you have done differently and why?

Note: When answering or responding to discussion questions be sure write, compelling arguments and to cite brief references other than the textbooks where appropriate. Also, be sure to consistently establish a linkage between the material being discussed, your workplace, or individual research. Most importantly, be specific on your response, no short answers allowed, and use proper spelling and grammar in all responses in the discussion forum.
