Dear Mr. Johnson,

We are delighted to offer you a position here at Dunder-Mifflin. Our hiring team was impressed by your application and qualifications. As our Marketing team is growing, we need to have an experienced manager lead our department.

Although telecommuting gives employees the freedom to choose their workplace, it may cause performance issues due to lack of presence in the office. Our new CEO Robert California has expressed productivity concerns regarding telecommuting employees and is now focusing on maintaining a vigorous, energetic management team. Due to our company’s recent policy changes, Dunder-Mifflin has rescinded the work-from-home program. Having a Marketing Manager present in the office is crucial to our company’s success. We value the time and effort that each of our employees put into their work and want to make sure our company runs efficiently.

As an alternative, we would be happy to offer you flexible working hours in the office for two days a week. You may choose to come into the office two hours earlier than normal schedule to prepare daily team meetings with your department with the opportunity to end your day by 3: pm.

Thank you so much for expressing your scheduling concerns with us. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding your request. Our team was pleased to meet you and we wish you the best with all of your future achievements.

Sincerely,

Daniela Araujo

 The audience is Dwayne Johnson, a candidate for the new Marketing Manager position.

 I will change Johnson by stating the CEO’s new company policy regarding working from home and offer him an alternative.

I want Johnson to understand the reasoning behind the new company policy and value efficiency in the workplace the way my company does.

 I want Johnson to think that I am resourceful and understanding of his needs since I offered him an alternative. I want him to know that I value his needs and will try my best to accommodate them.
