Assignment task: After the second wellness seminar, a senior manager approaches you and asks that you be the one to break the news about further increased hours in the run-up to the software launch. You feel strongly that this is the wrong strategy and that you ought to say something. Which of the following responses exemplifies the principle of appropriate assertiveness in response to this request from management? Tell them that that isn't an announcement you feel comfortable making, since several employees are already worried that you're on the side of management, and you'd like to remain as neutral as possible. Tell them that the strategy of further increased hours just isn't going to work and that if they insist on moving forward with the plan you refuse to have anything to do with it. Tell them that the request probably falls outside the bounds of what is usually required for HR professionals to do. Tell them that you know how the employees feel right now because of times when you have felt hard-pressed due to demands of management.
