Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: For employees, the best way to deliver negative news is in person rather than in writing. Taking the time to meet personally can give an employee a sense that he or she is being treated like a valuable human being, not simply being moved through the system.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Stating the bad news at the beginning can have two advantages: it makes a shorter message possible, and it allows the audience to reach the main idea of the message in less time. Using the direct approach is not rude or unprofessional. When you're communicating internally, the best approach will depend on a number of different factors.
