All part-time employees will work 1-3 ten hour days, with the number of total days and hours at management discretion.

There will be no store closings

If there are any questions, your manager will be happy to discuss these changes with you. We believe that our staff are the reason we have been so successful over the years, and that is why we have focused our cost-cutting efforts around solutions that will enable all of you to not only continue to work but to maintain all of your hours as well.

Public relations writing is therefore a more audience-focused form of writing. While the piece begins with information, it is shaped almost entirely by the writer's perception of the audience's needs.
