Hi,
I am failing to understand the arguments in this mails. Simply dont write your
name if you really dont have to. Abbas,Just make it clear that no names will be
displayed(since its the cause for all these arguments) and that everyone is
writing their thots and therefore no one should be judgemental whatsoever after
all its a survey and everyone is entitled to their opinion!
Oscar avoid being too harsh.Kuwa mpole.

I feel demoralized. I started this survey so that we can see where we are doing
well and maximise on that and know where we are poor and learn from our
mistakes. However, I did not intend to point fingers of accusation at people who
are performing below average. That is why I said I will not disclose names. That
is why, in the survey, I just put a general slot for ''quality of
presentations'' rather than ''Grace's presentation'' or
''Ting's presentation''.
I fail to understand how, for instance, rating quality of presentations as 1
will mean that David made a poor presentation. It merely means that next time,
we will all collaborate beforehand and ensure that the presentations to be made
are all of the desired quality.
If you think that this is pointing fingers of accusation behind someone's back,
then I'm sorry: I was merely assuming good faith.
This survey is done online since at an AGM, not all people would attend, and
thereby it wouldn't guarantee full participation.
Critics will always be there. Now it's up to you to live in you own bubble and
pretend you don't hear them or listen to them, and react appropriately.
I think this causing more contoversy than expected, and maybe I was mistaken to
create this survey in the first place.

Hi Everyone,
From what I have been reading,I guess I dont understand what is going on.True we
have received some "negative" critiscm in the past few days.And from the
continued arguments in this thread,I am inclined to think maybe our critics are
right?!
First,I dont understand the need of the Survey?I mean to what end are we doing
the survey???
I personally would suggest we have some sort of "AGM" where we can look back at
our success,mistakes and staff on a more "humane" grounds with the aim of
correcting and building on our success and mistakes not the "virtual" way.
Plus some questions are very subjective and touch on individuals directly
and personally I would rather not critic people behind there back especially in
print.......
Happy Easter,
