39. Miscommunication in office
• The boss of the company initiates a mail
to invite his staff to witness an eclipse and
how his message is passed by employees
at different levels in the hierarchy and
finally how it reaches to the staff...

40. Mail from CEO to Manager:
• Today at 11 o’clock there will be a total eclipse
of the sun. This is when the sun disappears
behind the moon for two minutes. As this is
something that cannot be seen every day, time
will be allowed for employees to view the eclipse
in the parking lot. Staff should meet in the lot at
ten to eleven, when I will deliver a short speech
introducing the eclipse, and giving some
background information. Safety goggles will be
made available at a small cost.

41. Mail from Manager to
Department Head:
• Today at ten to eleven, all staff should
meet in the car park. This will be followed
by a total eclipse of the sun, which will
appear for two minutes. For a moderate
cost, this will be made safe with goggles.
The CEO will deliver a short speech
beforehand to give us all some
information. This not something that can
be seen everyday.

42. Mail from Dept. Head to Floor
Manager:
• The CEO will today deliver a short speech
to make the sun disappear for two minutes
in the form of an eclipse. This is
something that cannot be seen every day,
so staff will meet in the car park at ten or
eleven. This will be safe, if you pay a
moderate cost.

43. Mail from Floor Manager to
Supervisor:
• Ten or eleven staff are to go to the car
park, where the CEO will eclipse the sun
for two minutes. This doesn’t happen
every day. It will be safe, and as usual it
will cost you.

44. Mail from Supervisor to Staff:
• Some staff will go to the car park today to
see the CEO disappear. It is a pity, this
doesn’t happen everyday.
