No, you’ve been ‘simplified.’ Retrieved on Jan 30, 2015, from http://archive.fortune.com/2008/11/10/technology/layoff_terms.fortune/index.htmI need at least a 150-word for this postNegative MessagesThink of a time when you had to write a negative letter, or when you received one – but not a letter having legal implications, such as terminating employment or threatening disciplinary action. Such a letter should not be discussed in this open forum.What made the letter effective? What lessened its effectiveness? To what extent did it achieve the goal of conveying unpleasant news, while maintaining the recipient’s goodwill? Be sure to mention, and prioritize, all of the factors relevant to your analysis.As before, you should support your analysis using the module sources, identifying each source with an in-text citation. There’s no need to place the full reference at the bottom of your posting if the reference appears in the module; otherwise, it’s required.Your analysis should be complete, concise, and logical. You should use proper English; avoid slang, jargon, and Webspeak.This is a negative counseling statement I had to give a soldier. To remind him of his responsibility to show up for his weekend drills. But I do want to write all this down. Could you be able to answer the discussion post that has to do with a soldier has to show up for weekend drills. I’ll be fine with whatever you could come up with as well.One drill weekend is comprised of four 4-hour UTAs. If one drill weekend is missed, four UTAs have been missed. Missing eight UTAs within one year is considered sufficient indication of intentional misconduct and meets justification for reduction in rank or discharge.Army National Guard members are subject to discipline under Title 32. This leaves punishment for absence offenses to the individual states’ unit commanders. Punishments for missing a part or all of a weekend drill can be:o counseling or letter of reprimando having to make up the drill and/or extra dutyo not being paid and/or having to repay payments receivedo reduction in rank (six or more UTA absences in one year)o discharge (eight or more UTA absences in one year)If the commander elects to initiate a discharge, a Notification of Separation and an Election of Options will be sent via USPS to your home. You will have 30 days to respond to this notification. If you do not respond, the commander may proceed with the discharge.The characterization of discharge is up to the commander. He could recommend a General (Under Honorable Conditions) or an Under Other than Honorable Conditions. If you are discharged, any bonuses or financial aid received will have to be paid back and you will be ineligible for any benefits associated with serving in the National Guard. If you received free vehicle registration/license plates, that registration will be revoked.Attending UTA/drill weekends is not optional. All members receive written orders from the commander, in advance, listing the annual UTA schedule. All members are expected to fulfill their service obligation and participate in scheduled training periods and perform satisfactorily as members of their unit.An unexcused absence is failing to attend one four-hour period of the UTA/scheduled training period. Unexcused absences are normally defined as:o member fails to report for the UTA without prior approval.o member is late for the UTA or leaves early without prior approval.o member fails to comply with uniform standards or perform satisfactorily.
