- Written Assignment | Negative Message Bad News to Customers: Stuck in Berlin Without a Credit Card Travel writer Blair Rhines was mystified when the sales clerk at a Berlin department store refused her credit card. “Sorry,” the clerk said, “your credit card is not being accepted. I don’t know why.” Rhines found out soon enough. Her bank had frozen her account because of an “unusual” spending pattern. The problem? “We’ve never had a charge from you in Germany before,” a bank official told her. The bank didn’t seem to remember that Rhines had repeatedly used that card in cities ranging from Boston to Tokyo to Cape Town over the past six years, each time without incident. Rhines was a victim of neural-network technology, a tool that is intended to protect credit cardholders from thieves who steal cards and immediately run up huge purchases. This technology tracks spending patterns. If it detects anything unusual—such as a sudden splurge on easy-to-fence items like jewelry—it sets off…arrow_forwardQuestion 1″The bad feelings associated with disappointing news can generally be reduced if the receiverbelieves that the matter was treated seriously and fairly.feels that the news was revealed sensitively.knows the reasons for the rejection.All of these choices.Question 2″You cannot be prosecuted for transmitting a harassing or libelous message if you post it to a social networking site such as Facebook or Twitter.TrueFalseQuestion 3Question 11″Which of the following sentences uses the passive voice to present the bad news?We are unable to interview you for the medical billing clerk position at this time.Although we were impressed with your application, we have no positions available at this time.Although the medical billing clerk position has been filled, we wish you well in your job search.We are not hiring at this time, even though we are impressed with your credentials.”Writing bad-news messages requires less attention to the 3-x-3 writing process than do…arrow_forward24.

Les Rosen, founder and CEO of Employment Screening Resources, said that investigating a job candidate's social media accounts helps employers look inside the person's head to see who the applicant really is. "But," he added, "if you use social media profiles incorrectly, a world of privacy and discrimination problems could arise." What did Rosen mean? Is it ethical for recruiters and hiring managers to peruse a candidate's social media profile during the hiring process as part of a pre-employment background screening, or are recruiters taking candidate research too far and invading people's privacy?
