Question

MEMO TO STAFF

You attend Zoom meetings and hear background conversations about SeeMoji moving in the direction of the animation. Current designers are uneasy, fearing they might lose their jobs in the next few years. They are concerned with the hiring of animation specialists. Designers are training on the new equipment for two hours a day, but this will not give them a formal certification in animation.   Further, they feel slighted. They earn $40,000 a year—and they were the people who helped the company grow—but the new animation specialists are in great demand in the current job market, and they will be earning $80,000. Morale is dropping rapidly.

You receive an email from Patricia Baker, Ms. Boss's Administrative Assistant:

Ms. Boss needs you to write a memo to the graphic designers. She wants them to be reassured and needs them to keep up with current trends in emojis. Here is the information she wants included:    

• SeeMoji is expanding and does not plan to terminate any current employees.
• Graphic designers are already training online to master the new hardware and software the company has invested in, thus expanding their skill sets.
• The latest edition of Graphics Magazine, an industry publication, announced an explosion in animation; the publication predicts that within two years animation is expected to make current graphics obsolete.
• Online classes in animation are available at the Animation Skills Institute. Attending and passing the full eight classes will result in a certificate from the institute.
• SeeMoji will cover 80% of the tuition for current graphic designers who wish to attend, but attendance is optional and must be done on the employee’s own time. Tuition runs $800 per class.
• Greg Glass at [email protected] has information on class schedules and the forms for partial reimbursement.

Ms. Boss is concerned about the rumors she has been hearing around the office, so this needs to be sent to all graphic designers immediately. Use the "SeeMoji Document and Presentation Format Requirements" file (under the Your Hired! section in Moodle) and the file about memos. Make sure you include a subject line in your email that is specific enough and will get their attention. And remember that you should be putting information into your own words, not copying it directly from the list above.

Let me know if you have questions.

Memo

To, The Graphic Designers

CC: Ms. Boss

From, Patricia Baker (Administrative Asistant)

Priority: Urget

We are currently receiving some information about the rumors which are spreading mentioning the question of expelling the current employees from the company. This is a vague message and we are there to support our employees and try every possible way of creating our employees. The company is walking towards expanding the company and keeping the existing employees will be the best thing for the company. So, we are not going to expel any of our employees. The demand for a graphic designer will be there in the company to follow all the workings of the company. There are various online classes which are running which are very useful for the employees. Graphic designers can enhance their skills by completing their online masters. These online classes do not require attendance but they help in proving education which will help the employees to improve their efficiency. The animation classes are also running online which will add more value to the work of the graphic designers. This is a new trend that will in the boom in the two years and if the graphic designers learn the animation too they will have an added advantage in their career path. These classes can be attended by the employee's ar per their time slot and the classes are run at $800 per class which will be very beneficial for the employees.
So, the graphic designers need not worry about their career and job instead of that they must focus on enhancing their skills. The company has plans for the employees and its the responsibility of the employees to look after the company by enhancing their skills and adding more value to the company.
