Ineffective Communication

Good evening Keep in mind this a discussion post. not an essay.
I also have to response to two student discussion.
their discussion are at the end of this intructions.
You can used the other two student discussion to guide you to do my discussion if that help.
thank you.
In this module, you have learned strategies for creating and sharing effective organizational communications. While knowing what to do and how to do it is helpful, sometimes understanding the repercussions of not doing something effectively can help you better understand the importance of doing it well.
For your initial post, reflect on a time when you experienced ineffective communication at work or at school (for example, through an email exchange or an announcement from leadership, a business meeting, unclear directions for a project, or even a conversation with a peer). Use the following questions to guide your post:
Who was involved in the communication exchange?
What type of communication was it, based on definitions from your module resources?
What do you think made the communication ineffective?
What were the negative impacts of the ineffective communication, and who was impacted by it?
In your response post to at least two peers, address the following:
Are there any other reasons the communications were ineffective? Were there any other negative impacts or people negatively impacted that your peers did not mention? If so, explain.
What communication strategies or approaches could have been used to avoid the ineffective communications? What negative impacts would these have helped avoid, and why? Use course resources to support your response.

Hi all,
In October I started a new position at my current place of employment. Although it is the same place, I am working for different project managers on projects I really didn't have much prior knowledge of. I am also fully remote, it is close enough for me to go in for meetings but I don't have a seat there at the moment. This has made communication a little more complicated since I get direction mostly via email. Since I am new, I do have a lot of follow up questions to tasking sent via email from the project managers and it can be ineffective at times. A specific example was a few weeks ago, one of the project managers sent me an email asking me to work on something for her. The email was a little vague and I'm someone who would rather get all the information needed up front, then I can work on a task. I had to follow up with quite a few questions and then I eventually just set up a quick TEAMS call with the project manager since I felt that would be more efficient and effective for me to get this task completed.

Hello,
I experienced ineffective communication at work when I received a call from my supervisor and she asked if I could come to work at 6. I was on call but normally they would call me the evening before to come in at 6 am so I assumed that it was 6 am to come in and not 6 in the evening. I was wrong. So when I walked into the building at 6 am ready to go my supervisor asked what I was doing there and she told me it was 6 pm and not 6 am which she miscommunicated with me because she was not specific and I just assumed because I normally get called in to open anyways. I was completely wrong and annoyed at the whole situation because I had to go back home to come back 12 hrs later. So like the web text stated, “miscommunication is an annoyance—it can interrupt workflow by causing delays and interpersonal strife”(Soomo Learning, 2023).
The communication channel was a high-richness channel she used the telephone but it felt more like a medium-richness channel because the conversation lasted for less than 2 mins and I did not even think to clarify if my shift was evening or morning. The reason why I think communication was ineffective was that she was occupied with other tasks at work. I heard a lot of commotion and people in the background, making her not present on the phone. The negative impact of ineffective communication was me being a disgruntled employee at the moment. I was dissatisfied because I had to make sure that since my shift was at a different time my family would be able to make it to the after-school programs. Also, the ineffective communication, brought to light how unorganized the company was running because my supervisor had a lot of responsibilities to handle at work.
