After reading the Case study Heading off a Permanent Misunderstanding, I learned a lot. Mindy Martin made a lot of assumptions that she shouldn't have. She came to many presumptions about Al Sharp that were unnecessary. In reality, the two were actually good friends and Al Sharp was just doing his job by being a manager. I feel that it was very important for William Attridge intervene. This way, Mindy finally had a chance to share her feelings and Al Sharp then finally understood what was going on. I feel that these sources of misunderstandings a very common in the workplace. There are always presumptions made about someone especially between employees and managers. Talking things out and discussing the problem is definitely helpful, and most likely ends up being a different circumstance.
Have you ever been in a situation where you have assumed something about another coworker?
