"Flo" of Communication (Scenario)
Recently the employees of Chatterbox Enterprises, Inc. received a letter from the vice-president of operations explaining that a new production facility would be built in Chatland, Ontario. It was also stated that about one-fourth of the employees from the current Chatland facility would be transferred to the new facility, and if an employee wanted to volunteer for the transfer, they could do so by applying at the human resources office.

Florence told Sam that Ruth, the current inventory control supervisor, would not be transferring and that she would consider his request.
