Dear Ladies,
After working five years for the same employer, I just lost my job. I found out at the end of May that my contract would not be renewed. Imagine my shock, disappointment and rage. Thankfully, I was able to handle it with grace. I am a divorced mother of one child, so I am concerned about my money to say the least. However, I believe I will make it and that is half the battle.
Since losing my job, I have done a lot of thinking about how people communicate. I attribute losing my job, in part, to miscommunication by all parties involved. So much is involved in effectively communicating. Often, people look at others and make an initial judgement about who they are and what they represent. In addition, even though a person says one thing, it could very well be misinterpreted by the assumptions that were made initially.
This is not related to the workplace only. Miscommunication occurs in households between couples and among other family members. It also takes place between and among friends.
Have you ever been misunderstood? If so, how? Have you ever misunderstood someone? If so, how? Was anything done to rectify the situation?
Let me hear your voice!
That's all for now!
Much love,
Lamya Amatullah
