Solution

The original email from Sebastian is an example of Under-communication. This is because he did not fully and clearly communicate the changes that would be implemented in the future, such as the elimination of overtime and weekend working. Instead, he vaguely mentioned that the staff could work more sociable hours, which led to confusion and disappointment when the staff later learned about the specific changes.
