Communication Flaws

From : Managing Director
To : Executive Director

"Tomorrow morning there will be a total eclipse of the
sun at nine o'clock. This is something which we cannot see
everyday. So let the work-force line up outside, in their best clothes to
watch it. To mark the occasion of this rare occurrence, I will personally
explain the phenomenon to them. If it is raining we will not be able to see it
very well and in that case the work force should assemble in the canteen."

From : Executive Director
To : Departmental Head

"By order of the Managing Director, there will be a
total eclipse of the sun at nine o' clock tomorrow morning.
If it is raining we will not be able to
see it in our best clothes, on the site. In this case
the disappearance of the sun will be followed through
in the canteen. This is something we cannot
see happening everyday."
--------------------------------------------------

From : Departmental Heads
To : Sectional Heads

"By order of the Managing Director, we shall follow
the disappearance of the sun in our best clothes,
in the canteen at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
The Managing Director will tell us whether it is going
to rain. This is something which we cannot see happen everyday."

From : Section Heads
To : Foreman

If it is raining in the canteen tomorrow morning,
which is something that we cannot see happen
everyday, the Managing director in his best clothes,
will disappear at nine o'clock."

From : Foreman
To : All Operators

Tomorrow morning at nine o' clock, the Managing
Director will disappear. It's a pity that we can't see
this happen everyday"
