Write a memo to Ali, stating Bilal’s case. You are the manager of WhiteOut, a store that sells snowboarding equipment and clothing. You have seven employees. Since you believed that today would be a light day for sales, you asked only one employee to work. However, suddenly, more customers than you had expected showed up, and you and your employee are overwhelmed. You need help—fast. E‐mailing your other employees might not work, since they aren’t necessarily near a computer. In contrast, you know they all have smartphones. The fastest and most trustworthy way to communicate with them is through instant messaging or text messaging.
