Unit 5 - Journal Entries

Q Journal Suggestions You are to keep a journal throughout Units 1-6 of this course. Journal entries should document observations of interpersonal communication interactions throughout each week. You will post a minimum of two journal entries per week. Each entry should provide an analysis of your communication. Each journal entry should answer one of the questions below (you will answer two questions each week). Entries should identify a relationship to a course concept or term and finally summarize how the interaction could be improved. Remember, to document your observations, relate to course concepts and indicate ways to maintain or improve. You should clearly label each entry and post them in one word document or use the text entry feature in Canvas. If you submit two different posts, it may appear that your first post disappeared but your instructor will be able to see each submission. Each entry should be approximately 150-200 words.

Yes, someone else’s self-disclosure has made me feel uncomfortable. I’m a manager at my job and I have about 70 employees. I feel like people will say anything to neglect responsibility for their actions. Over the last 2 months, I’ve had an employee who overshares her medical history with every person she comes in contact with because she is always missing work. Human Resources and I have spoken to this person on multiple occasions about how and when her medical issue is a valid excuse for missing work. She is currently under a LOA claim so she isn’t technically seeing any penalty for her absences.
