Memo Writing Assignment – Conveying Bad News about a Holiday Gift

Memo Writing Assignment: The Scenario

Sarah Bross, the CEO at Blessmark Industries, is announcing
that she can no longer provide a Thanksgiving turkey to each employee.
This is not a dire situation for anyone, but her employees will be
disappointed by the loss of this annual Thanksgiving gift.

As many mangers have come to know, it is common for the
recipients of a special perk to eventually regard the benefit as
entitlement, not as an occasional generosity.

For this assignment, you are Sarah Bross, writing this memo
to her 250 employees at Blessmark Industries. This tradition began in
2011, when there were only 50 employees, but now unfortunately, with 250
employees this personal expense can no longer continue.
