Answer to Question 1

Answer: If you need to write a review that includes negative information, keep the following points in mind: Document performance problems. You will need this information in order to write an effective appraisal and to support any decisions about pay, promotions, or termination. Evaluate all employees consistently. Doing so is fair. It also helps protect the company from claims of discriminatory practices. Write in a calm, objective voice. The employee is not likely to welcome your negative assessment, but you can manage the emotions of the situation by maintaining professional reserve in your writing. Focus on opportunities for improvement. This information can serve as the foundation for an improvement plan for the coming year. Keep job descriptions up to date. If a job evolves over time in response to changes in the business, the employees' current activities may no longer match an outdated job description.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Social networking recommendations are much more flexible than conventional recommendations. When solicited, a recommender may contribute as much or as little as he or she sees fit.
