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,
