Question 2

Read the refusal message to Kylie Sanders who has requested new laptops for her department so that employees can work from home and travel with ease. Then answer the corresponding question about the message. To: Kylie Sanders From: Satya Kashtelyan Subject: Employee Laptop Initiative Hi Kylie, Even though my employees are interested in being more productive, there is no way that we will be able to fund an employee laptop initiative. Such an initiative would not work for a number of reasons, including budgeting and technology training. A laptop initiative would be an expensive endeavor. With each laptop costing approximately 2,000 for each of our 56 employees, the costs would exceed 100,000. In addition to the cost of the laptops, employees would need technology training. In order to properly train employees, we would need to provide optional training workshops. These workshops incur additional direct costs as well as indirect costs in areas such as lost productivity. Given the 10 percent loss of revenue we faced last quarter, these expenses would be difficult to cover. While we are not currently in a position to implement the laptop initiative request, your request is forward-thinking and noteworthy. Once the company finds itself on more secure financial grounds, I would be happy to reconsider the initiative. Meanwhile, we have several laptop computers that employees may check out for telecommuting and travel. Kylie, employees like you make us all proud. Even though your request was a little outrageous and the timing was off, it is the thought that counts. Keep up the good work. Best, Satya True or False: In the original bad-news statement, Satya focuses on the refusal rather than the merits of the request.
