CONFRONTATIONAL COOPERATIVE
I can’t
I don’t think I can
We never We don’t usually
I always I try to
I usually
I don’t like your attitude Perhaps you can let me explain, then maybe I
can help you
Your friend’s situation has nothing to do with this Each case is different , perhaps we can get back
to your situation
You’re not the first person to threaten to get me I can appreciate that you are upset about this. If
fired you’d like to talk to someone else, I can give you
their number, would that help?
You obviously don’t know how we do things Perhaps I haven’t explained the process very
well. I’d like to explain how that decision was
made.
There’s nothing I can do to help you I don’t have the authority to change the decision,
I’d like to suggest who you might talk to that does
have that authority
