It was a good chat, though."

Unless I am told exactly what it is about she will have to schedule a meeting on the books so I can have a union rep with me."

The tweet by Ken Cosgrove serves as a reminder that a little extra effort in communication from managers can make a significant positive impact on employee morale. As one user aptly put it, "If only all bosses did that. Context to a 'quick chat' would certainly go a long way in employee relations."
