In what ways can you persuade your employees that this new policy will be beneficial?

Purpose
Unfortunately, in business, not all messages are positive or even routine. Negative, or “bad news,” messages are also relatively common. These kinds of messages include rejecting job applicants; denying claims from customers or requests from employees; disagreeing with a co-worker’s suggestion or idea; notifying your supervisor or customers of a mistake you made; and many more. Because these kinds of communication send negative messages, it is especially important to use respect, courtesy, and care so that the receiver maintains a positive (or at least neutral) impression of you and the company for which you work.
The Scenario
You are the CEO of BearKat Business and Economic Research (or B2ER), located in San Diego, California. Recently, your company has moved to a remote model for employees—in other words, roughly half of your employees will be working from home on a permanent basis.

Many of BER’s current employees—all of whom live in the San Diego metro—are excited about the change, because it means they can live and work anywhere in the U.S. San Diego has one of the highest costs of living in the country, and salaries in the metro tend to be higher as well. Your employees have done the math, and their San Diego salaries will allow them to live like kings and queens in places like Tulsa, Oklahoma, or Jonesboro, Arkansas, or McAllen, Texas. Thus many of your employees are planning to leave San Diego for greener (and cheaper) pastures.

This strikes you as a pretty good idea, actually. The lease you pay on your office facilities is sky-high; and with the switch to remote work, you were considering looking for smaller, less-expensive facilities in the San Diego suburbs. But if you are going to move anyway, why not go even farther afield? Why not relocate the entire company to one of the less expensive cities your employees have been researching?

Your Task
Compose an email to all B2ER employees announcing that the company will be relocating to a new city. If you’d like, you can choose the city you wrote about in the Writing Excercise in Unit 4. If you’re feeling ambitious, though, you can choose a different city.

This email has two goals:
announcing the relocation, including the new city and a time frame.
convincing the employees to remain employed with B2ER. (Remember, some of your employees may want to stay in San Diego; even those who are thinking of moving may not want to move to city YOU have chosen for the new company headquarters. Therefore, this should be treated as a negative message with persuasive elements.)
Your message should:
Be in proper email format. See Ch. 7 for examples.
Be in proper indirect format. Use the Hamburger model. See Chapter 11 video and the rubric.
In the explanation section, discuss benefits TO THE EMPLOYEES of relocating to your chosen city. In addition to the cost of living, you can talk about the amenities and other topics you discussed in the Writing Exercise in Unit 4. You may do new research if you want.
Cite the sources you used in your explanation section and include the full reference at the end of the message. Follow proper APA format.
In the redirect, talk about what will happen next on a practical level. Mention the town halls. See the example in the Chapter 11 video and the rubric for ideas.
Be between 250 and 500 words
Be free of errors and typos.
When writing your message, think about the following questions:
In what ways can you persuade your employees that this new policy will be beneficial?
In what ways can you demonstrate care and courtesy?
What potential concerns/complaints might your employees have? How can you address them in this message?
What information would help your receivers understand the need for the policy?
What details do your receivers need?
How will you ensure a positive working relationship in the future? How can you demonstrate good will?

INTRODUCTION

Dear Students,

Griffith Observatory Trip Report of 5 pages with text and pictures is a graded assignment in this course. Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles is a very educational and a highly tourist attraction place. However, if you cannot visit the Griffith Observatory for any reason, then here are the other two options:

Alternative Option-1:

You can visit an alternative Observatory in California or in USA or anywhere else in the world that is near you. Here are two links for California and for USA:

(a) 30+ Observatories in California for 2020
https://www.go-astronomy.com/observatories-state.php?State=CA (Links to an external site.)

(b) 25 of the Best Observatories in the U.S. to Visit in 2020
https://spacetourismguide.com/best-observatories-united-states/ (Links to an external site.)

Alternative Option-2:

If you can not visit Griffith or any other observatory for any reason, then you can do this 2nd option with both parts (a) and (b) as follows:

(a) Watch the following Video, titled:

What’s Inside The Griffith Observatory ? (24:57 min)

However, if you can visit the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, then please read the following Guidelines that I have described below in details:

========================================

Griffith Observatory Visit Guidelines

Dear Students,

Griffith Observatory visit is an exciting trip that is very educational and eye-opening about the world and the universe for you and for your family and friends who can accompany you during your visit to this observatory. Please make sure to take your camera or smart phone with you to take some pictures at the Griffith Observatory during this trip. Please also make sure to take a picture of yourself along with your family and friends who accompany you in this trip and take this group photo right at the tall statues of the Astronomers-Physicists in the front yard of the Observatory and keep the observatory itself in the background of your picture. Then include that picture in the front page of your Trip Report and submit it online in the Canvas Course Shell.

Griffith Observatory is a Physics and Astronomy Museum with planetarium shows, many scientific displays, and also the telescopes to see the Moon, the Planets, the Stars and Galaxies in the night sky, and also a spectacular view of the Los Angeles downtown and the surrounding greater LA-Valley up to the LAX and Pacific Ocean and also the “Hollywood” sign. This is an Assignment in Module-4 (which will come at about half way into the semester). This is a very educational and enjoyable trip to Griffith Observatory and I suggest you take your children, spouse, siblings, parents and friends with you when you make this trip to the Griffith Observatory and they all will like it. The Griffith Observatory is located up on the Griffith Park hill/mountain near “Hollywood” Sign and near downtown Los Angeles.

When you go to Griffith Observatory, please go there at least 3 hours before the sunset to go through the Museum displays and also to watch the space-show inside the Planetarium, and then plan to stay there for another 2 hours after sunset in order to look through the telescope to look at the Moon, the Planets, the Stars and Galaxies at the night sky. So, plan for about 5 to 6 hours there and you will enjoy the whole time. The Griffith Observatory also has cafeteria there to eat and a gift-shop there to buy gifts for your family members and friends.

Please read this WORD file on Griffith Observatory Visit Guide very carefully and familiarize yourself about the details of this educational and entertaining trip. After the trip you will need to write a 5 -page report with pictures and descriptions and then submit it to the Assignment page online in Module-4 of the Canvas Course shell for me to review it and grade it. Enjoy the visit, have fun and learn a lot.

Please let me know if you have any questions related to this Griffith visit assignment.

Please visit the Observatory Website at www.griffithobservatory.org and call them ahead of time at 213-473-0800 to find out some preliminary information about the observatory, the planetarium show times and the parking advisory. They may recommend to take a shuttle and so please follow their advice and suggestions.

Parking: Please keep in mind that Griffith Observatory is a very popular tourist place and it can get crowded. Also, parking can be a challenge near the Observatory. There is high rate of parking fee to park at the Observatory parking lot. There may be some parking space on the streets near the Observatory. However the best thing to do about parking is to park at the Greek Theatre for free just before the Observatory but that must be on a day when there is no event at the Greek Theatre. From the Greek Theatre you can walk up the hill for a few minutes to go to the observatory. There may be a shuttle service to take you from the Greek Theatre parking lot to the observatory as well. Just ask some people about the shuttle service. Make sure to pick a day for your Observatory visit when there is no event at the Greek Theatre. You cannot park there for free at the Greek Theatre if there is an event at the Greek Theatre on that day. The address, phone number and website of the Greek Theatre are: 2700 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027, Phone: 1-844-524-7335, Website: www.lagreektheatre.com. Please make sure to call the Greek Theatre and also visit their website ahead of time to make sure that there is no event at the Greek Theatre on the day of your visit to the Griffith Observatory.

Make sure to take your notebook and phone-camera with you to take notes and to take pictures of different items of the observatory. Also make sure that you and your family/friends are in some of the pictures including the one at the statues of the astronomers at the front of the observatory building. Put that picture of you and your family/friends with the statues of the astronomers on top of the front page of your report.

What type of education helps individuals achieve such freedom?

The Luxuries of Life-What the 1% of Elite have over you

and Mark Cuban on the FIRE Movement: Financial Independence, Retire Early

Topic For Composition Exercise #1:
In their videos Mark Cuban says he’s learned to “do what he wants, when he wants, how he wants” and Layan Bubbly says living like her friend, “waking up when you want and working when you want” is a luxury. What do individuals need to know, learn to live like this? How can other individuals enjoy this independence and control over their lives and time? What type of education helps individuals achieve such freedom? Please answer these questions and explain your answers. Also quote from the YouTube videos.

Please see the directions below for how to write your exercise. Remember you can submit your work before the due date.

Composition Exercise Directions
I’ll score your composition exercise on a 4-point scale with a point for format, a point for content, a point for focus and a point for clarity.

For your composition exercises please write:
1. (format) a 500-word composition. Use Courier New, 12-point font and double space and MLA style.

2. (content) Your composition needs an answer and specific details for each question in the topic. Within your 500-word limit you must cite from the material you’ve read and/or watched to support your ideas. As Abraham Lincoln wrote, “It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.” Use two-three quotes from the sources in your composition to “fit” your interpretation of the material.

3. (focus) Stay focused on the topic. Everything you write should have a connection to the topic and your ideas.

4. (clarity) When you proofread check for common errors like fragments, run-on’s, commonly confused words, tense shift, subject-verb disagreement, spelling, etc. Try to adhere to the KISS Principle. This means keep your sentences short and simple and divide your composition into short easy to read paragraphs.
