Communicating Effectively is Our Common Goal Darneshia Jones Stefanie Gray Jose Williams Saint Leo University Abstract Layoffs and early retirement is a normal occurrence in the corporate world. However, there is a problem when there is no plan for the layoffs. This was the situation with Westwood Publishing as discussed in Argenti (2013) (p. 192-194). The company was lacking in many ways prior to the layoffs with the CEO not actively involved with the employees, an outside person brought
objective relationship with universal implications. Technically a lyric, the poem filled with narrative and drama: an off-the-farm college girl, a Southerner, and perhaps a Georgian like Sellers herself, has fallen in love with a “quiet girl down the hall” (9). The girl’s conservative mother “has seen to” (10) having her daughter seek for an expert help. Ungraceful, conflicted inwardly, and beset outwardly by parental pressure, the girl now waits to see a counselor. No character speaks, but the role
basic element: the great hall. It was often on the ground floor but sometimes it was raised to the second floor for extra security. “The great hall was a large one-room structure with a lofty ceiling”(Giess 58). This was where all the people of the castles slept (excluding the lord and the Lady). There was of course a great big curtain put up so the ladies would be separate from the men. It wasn’t until the end of the century when separate rooms were invented. The great hall was usually located in
Castle The only sound echoing through the dark stone halls was that of the ancient grandfather clock that rested at the end of the corridor. The noise bouncing off the stones through the grand arches of the once grand hall. Time had both been kind and hard to the castle. The castle had withstood centuries, millenniums of historical eras. It had been once overflowing with the sweet melodies of orchestras as thousands gathered glittering in its hall to celebrate glorious times that had passed by.
Social Construct of a Pool Hall Billiards, or more commonly referred to as pool has been played for many decades. In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century it was played by those of upper class standing in their homes. Over the twentieth century pool shifted roles, becoming part of middle and lower class society. With the class change, pool also moved out of the home and into bars and halls. Pool has been forever transformed; today there are three main groups of pool players
having Whoopi Goldberg reading in a hallway. One does not generally associate hallways with open space, but because there are a series of doorways that run on the left side of the hall, it is as if it is saying there are multiple regions of information to discover. It represents one thought leading to another. Doorways in the hall eliminate the tension in the room and really help to open it up.
away with whatever he did. While this was going on, a nice dressed administrator walked by. He glanced at Samuel, but he had errands from the principal to meet deadlines; he didn’t stop. Rob continued to threaten him; eventually they were alone in the hall. He snatched Samuel’s hand and with a flick of his wrist twisted him around until his face made a sickening thwack against the cool dull metal of the locker. Samuel was just a boy in high school. He was bright, intelligent and every bit as kind as
It beckons for you to come learn its history, walk on the same stones that some of the greats of our country have walked. As you walk out the doors leaving this majestic inn turn and take one last look. Above the north end fire place of The Great Hall the inscription in the stone reads “Take from this hearth its warmth. From this room its charm. From this Inn its amity. Return them not- But return” (anonymous). That says it all and return you should, to North Carolina’s little piece of Heaven here
of new talent throughout the company, which is exciting. The hardest part of the transformation, for me, is seeing someone you have worked with for years lose his or her job. It is very difficult watching very talented individuals being offered severance packages and having their jobs eliminated. It also makes doing your day-to-day job a bit more difficult as well. You might normally lean on someone for help to get a particular task done, but all of the sudden, they are no longer available to help
Corporate Downsizing Corporate Downsizing Organizations in every segment of business, industry, government, and education are downsizing. Downsizing is and has been a controversial phenomenon in the last few years. The controversy that surrounds downsizing may be better described as a debate in organizational theory about whether change is adaptive or disruptive.

demographic area at one the their other locations. Daniels need to keep in consideration that there are cost associated with layoffs. If DSI were to choose the option of layoffs, the costs can add up quickly. The company would have to negotiate severance payments, fees for consultant who assist in the process of downsizing, loss of trust in management, litigation from unhappy workers, and lack of staff to grow when the industry rebounds, just to name a few of potential costs that would need to be

Shadowing Reflection Observing a student’s day was a great experience. It enabled me to step outside of what I have been preparing for and into the life of this student. It was an interesting and informing experience. The day for the student had already begun when I arrived, but I jumped right into his regular routine. My day with Fred began when I entered his science class. He was sitting backwards in his seat talking while the teacher was in the process of beginning her class. The
a century. He is as important as he is because his work is exceptional in many ways. One of these exceptional differences, in my opinion, is the conflicting view of women Tennyson portrays in his poetry, especially his poem "Locksley Hall." Tennyson's "Locksley Hall" is, in my opinion, a poem that would benefit greatly from an ideological discussion concerning Tennyson's views of women. This poem poses the questions: Are Tennyson's words describing a set of beliefs felt only by the narrator of the
Helen as Angel and Rebel in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall In nineteenth century England, the lives of men and women were completely different. The women had very few - or no - rights and the man had absolute power over his wife and children. He even had the rights to his wife's income or heritage! The only acceptable way for a woman to lead her life was to be a social character, a supporting wife and loving mother, so to speak an "angel in the house". The term "the angel in the house" refers to
seem prophetic. It would not, however, be accurate today. It was September 1st, and I was officially a college freshman. All my dreams were to be realized. The halls would be paved with intellectuals, and the walls would be plastered with philosophers. State College was my Ellis Island. It would be a far cry from my high school, whose halls were paved with punks and whose walls were plastered with simpletons. The entire student body would be eager to debate and discuss the Bible, politics, philosophy
The Farm: 10 Down is the sequel to the well-known documentary, The Farm: Life Inside Angola Prison that featured five inmates living at Angola prison. As a follow up on the stories of the inmates, The Farm: 10 Down was made to show the prisoner’s progress, although for others, their lack of positive growth is evident. Logotherapy, also known as the theories of Viktor Frankl are apparent in the prisoner’s lives and suffering. The progress the inmate’s have made or the lack thereof has labeled them
Graves hall, which was constructed in 1889, used to be the only building on the campus of Morehouse College during early years of operation. Graves hall used to house all college resources including living resources and classrooms. Today Graves hall is one of many residence halls on campus and is predominantly living quarters, as opposed to the various departments it used to house.

Downsizing in America - INTRODUCTION - Downsizing, restructuring, rightsizing, even a term as obscure as census readjustment has been used to describe the plague that has been affecting corporate America for years and has left many of its hardest working employees without work. In the 1980’s, twenty-five percent of middle management was eliminated in the United States (Greenberg/Baron 582). In the 1990’s, one million managers of American corporations with salaries over $40,000 also lost their
