metaphors and culture lectures

As in many cultures metaphors are the easiest way of communication. They attempt to give qualities of one feeling or expression to another word. I never thought about metaphors causing any missunderstandigns, however in the workplace metaphors can possibly cause more problems and confusion more than help them. The lecture states that by making communication seem easy and effortless it leads to a more possible issues in the long-run. By employees and management feeling that communication is always easy the less likely they will put effort into explaining issues and giving examples the proper way as opposed to using metaphors. It could cause laziness, and as the lecture claims redundancy in communicating.
