Description You just attended a meeting with the senior leaders of your organization. During the meeting, you were asked to send a memo to all employees letting them know that the Work From Home (WFH) policy has been updated, and all employees will be required to work in the office four days a week starting next Monday. Every employee must be in the office every Wednesday, and each team must have someone in the office each day of the week. It is up to each team to determine a set schedule for when each employee will be in the office. Previously, employees were only required to be in the office two days a week. There has not been much structure around who was in the office each day. The senior leaders anticipate a significant amount of pushback from employees about this change, but they believe it is the only way to foster true collaboration and reach the organization’s goals.

Description For this assignment you are to address counterarguments. This is a 3-step process and can be confusing so make sure you read the instructions carefully. For the sake of this assignment you are to take a side. You have to be either Team Dogs or Team Cats. I get it, you can love both, but that's not what we're trying to get at here! In a 1-2 page typed response (double-spaced), you should provide three reasons for being in favor of dogs over cats or cats over dogs. You are then to think of the oppositions argument (the counterargument) to each of your three reasons. List each counterargument directly to each of your three reasons. Then - this is where the refutation to that counterargument comes in - think of ways to effectively refute the opposition. You must do so with tact, knowledge and kindness in order to create effective counterarguments. I realize that these may not be your specific beliefs and that is okay. The point of this exercise is to learn the importance and difficulty of addressing counterarguments and how best to refute them. Here's a brief example: Part I: Cats live longer than dogs. Part II: Many dog breeds have a long life too. Part III: According to vetwest.com, cats, on average, live 12-18 years while dogs, on average, live 10-13 years. While both types of animals have a much shorter life span than humans, it's more likely you'll be able to enjoy a longer period of time with a cat versus a dog. PART B We have learned about credibility throughout the semester. Discuss here how credibility is affected or influenced by the following four factors: authority, bias, recency and legitimacy.
