Folks, what's wrong with yous?
People have the right to change their opinion; people have the right to
state their opinion anonymously; people have the right to feel miffed at
criticism; people have the right to be sensitive .
Okay, to cut a long story short: We're all just humans, so please treat each
other accordingly :-)
Finally: I'd also prefer to do this communication face-to-face but alas,
that's not the world we're living in.
Haya, tusonge mbele,
Oliver (aka BT)
PS: I've completed the survey!

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,
