Week 7 #3
In chapter 20, Deetz mentions that " meaningful democratic participation creates better citizens and better social choices, and provides important economic benefits." ( Griffin, E, 2008 ). ( P 269-270). Communication in workplace is important . It can stimulate workers` job interest and help company create more profits. If the company puts its power over the workers, the workers will lose their interest in their jobs and find other job opportunities from other companies. The company will lose its workers later. I like the example in page 269" A morning Exercise by Stan Deetz". It tells the real meanings of communication and how it is important.

For Deetz, it's more than just communicating in the workplace, it's actually participating in decision making and being granted some autonomy and power over one's own work day and tasks. In difficult economic times like the one we're experiencing now, employees don't have a lot of choices in terms of where they work. But when times are better, then they'll leave in droves for companies who are interested in true employee participation.
I also agree that communication in the work place is extremely important. If people working together aren't communicating there can be a number of problems. If someone is paid on commission, and another employee steals their sales it can lead to a poor situation. This entire situation could be avoided if the two employees communicated and explain to each other that stealing sales is just plain wrong.
