Ihave been sitting with this thought for a
while too Salsabila Meidiana Putri.
People love to talk about communication
when it makes them look wise. @
They say:
“Just talk."
“Have the 1on1." @
“Most problems happen because someone
did not communicate."
"Silence creates misunderstanding." Qy
Beautiful words. “@
But here is the hypocrisy | experienced.
When | asked about my termination, | was.
blocked.
When | asked for an explanation, | was.
ignored. &
When I tried to communicate, the door was
closed. &
When | wanted clarification, silence was
treated as professionalism.
When I wanted accountability, silent
treatment was framed as good faith.
So let me ask honestly:
How can someone publicly preach
communication, but privately practice
avoidance? g
How can someone tell employees to talk to
‘their managers, while refusing to have a
proper conversation with someone whose
livelihood was affected? si
How can silence be called good faith when it
is used to avoid explanation, accountability,
and basic respect?
Termination is not just an administrative
action.»
It affects someone's income, reputation,
mental health, career record, and dignity.

If communication is the cure, then it must
apply not only when it is convenient. 2
It must apply when the conversation is
difficult.
It must apply when power is involved. i
It must apply when HR is being questioned
too. 22
Because communication is not a branding
statement.
It is a responsibility.
You cannot tell people to book a ton1, then
block someone who is asking for answers.
aS)
You cannot preach empathy, then hide
behind silence. MJD
You cannot call silent treatment good faith
when the other side is asking for basic
clarity.
That is not leadership. b>
That is not professionalism. b>
That is not good faith.
That is hypocrisy. @*
Real good faith means showing up. (")
Real communication means answering
difficult questions. @
Real accountability means not disappearing
when someone asks why they were
terminated. ~
Talk is easy.
Consistency is the real test. _
