The need for communications, then, has become greater. Keep channels of communication open. Unexplained intentions are usually considered evil. “Unless there’s something wrong with the deal, why don’t they let us in on it?”

Several salesmen left their jobs with a furniture manufacturer. Finally the cause was explained: “We thought we’d be let out,” stated one of the men. “Everybody knew sales were off and that a new owner was taking over.” Unfortunately, the men were victims of rumor. Sales were off but little. Profits were as high as ever, and the new owner intended to keep the sales personnel intact.

There’s a “grapevine” in every company. Telephone conversations are overheard, letters are read by typists and file clerks. Information leaks out sooner or later. Let workers get the story straight. Let them get it from you. What you tell them will be much more accurate than what they hear from each other.
