Question

Jane sent her boss an e-mail suggesting that they have a performance review to see whether jane was ready for a raise. her boss replied in an e-mail that jane was out of line and that she would give her a performance review at the same time as other employees. face-to-face communication may have helped jane avoid upsetting her boss by:

Answer 1

She should have had face to face conversation because in an email words can express many misinterpreted feelings, she should have asked to have a personal meeting in the email over her review

Answer 2

Answer:

It would have been best to have a conversation with her boss rather than sending her suggestions in a mail. In that manner, she will be able to assess her boss's reaction to her request. If He has any objection over the performance review on the job, a dialogue would have sought out the matter.

One of the disadvantage of electronic means of communication is that you won't be able to tell the other person's reaction, facial expression  or body language to the message sent.
