Concept from chapter 2

The confrontational avoidance cycle is a concept that really interest me.  This concept mainly introduces the fact that there are many people who avoid any type of sticky situations. He or she usually start talking about something else when the conflict is brought up or, will avoid the person he or she has the conflict with. I can definitely relate to confrontational avoidance cycle when is comes to my job. Currently, I am a beauty advisor for a successful cosmetics company. I am part time employee who came from being a full time counter manager at the last store I was located. I transferred stores to have less hours to focus more on school.  My counter manager is someone who avoids any kind of conflict and is also passive-aggressive. She is very lazy and I do all her work. When I come to her and try and talk about what is bothering me, she always seems to talk about something different or just says that we will sit down and talk about it later. The tension at the counter is growing by the minute because she is avoiding the conflict and issues therefore they are not getting solved.  There is always a problem but never a solution. Because of the lack of communication, the counter is very dis functional and it does not make my work place enjoyable. Lack of communication is something very big when it comes to any types of relationships. When there is good communication, there is good flow. Without it, it is a sinking ship.
