Negative Metacommunications In the past few months, Rhamel has frequently called in sick to work. He has received medical treatment for a respiratory infection, but the infection continues to recur. He has missed several important deadlines, and his sick leaves are dwindling quickly. Rhamel's supervisor has been patient and supportive through this illness, but other employees have recently been asked to handle Rhamel's work in addition to their own workload. His coworkers have started feeling resentful, and this is evident in their nonverbal communication with Rhamel when he is at work. Give three examples of negative metacommunication and two examples of kinesic messages that coworkers may communicate to Rhamel to express their frustration and resentment.
