Listserv

When dealing with a listserv in todays world everything has to be scanned for political correctness. When I do anything with an organization it goes through at least two proofreaders for revisions before going out to the general public on the listserv. When thinking of who could possibly read those listserv mails especially during growing collaborations with areas that may be sensative to the materials contained, I would think twice before sending anything to the whole group. Those specific emails given as samples in the prompt were very inappropriate to be sent over the listserv, they should have been done in a private email to the 2 other supervisors. On simple principle anything that could be considered offensive should not be mentioned and was uncalled for. As supervisors and policy developers they should also be looking at the example they set and the face that they are puting on the company by their actions and words. I think a public listserv response is required but not so chastising that firing would be required. I also think that their positions should be reconsidered thinking that as policy makers they may need to have some retraining as to what is actually appropriate. I would not react differently if the company was not dealing with a cooperative firm in a sensative environment. As people we should be considerate of our fellow employees and their situations.
