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 J
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,
