In my last post touched on the issue of using email inappropriately for tasks which should be done face to face. I have become, recently, a very strong believer in the power of the human voice and more so the human face. Our tonal expressions and other non-verbal communications are priceless when it comes to conveying what it is that we actually mean and feel. Thus I was appalled upon coming across the story this week of Radio Shack letting 450 employees go via email. I can not imagine anything colder or more dehumanizing then receiving an email letting you know that your services were no longer needed. That is, unless it was via text message.
