Question

“I know how excited you were to be offered the new job. It’s too bad the hours aren’t what you were expecting. Talking to your new boss about your hours before you accept seems like a good idea.” What makes this an effective response? Is there anything you would change or add?

Answer 1

This is an effective response because it is sincere and it depicts that the person had a good decision in talking things out with the boss. It depicts the emotion of being disappointed of the final decision of the hours, it is also the proper way of responding to a person who is sad.
