Negative Metacommunications In the past few months, Rhamel has frequently called in sick to work. He has received medical treatment for a respiratory infection, but the infection continues to recur. He has missed several important deadlines, and his
sick leaves are dwindling quickly. Rhamel's supervisor has been patient and supportive through this illness, but other employees have recently been asked to handle Rhamel's work in addition to their own workload. His coworkers have started feeling resentful, and this is evident in their nonverbal communication with Rhamel when he is at work. Give three examples of negative metacommunication and two examples of kinesic messages that coworkers may communicate to Rhamel to express their frustration and resentment.
Metacommunication can include comments such as "Maybe you should go to another doctor who might solve this problem," "You need to take better care of yourself so that you are more resistant to sickness," and "Maybe you could do some of your work at home when you cannot come to the office." These kinds of statements imply criticism of Rhamel's choice of his doctor, overall level of fitness, and other important choices he has made about his work and job.
Kinesic messages from disgruntled coworkers could include the following:
a . Visual kinesic communication—frowning, avoiding eye contact, ignoring Rhamel, and not engaging in friendly conversation
b. Vocal kinesic communication—sarcasm, unfriendly tone, terse verbal exchange of job-related information, no expressed interest in Rhamel's physical condition and prolonged illness
