Does your workplace have a Suggestion Box?

Flatlander · Oct 2, 2014

All reminds me of the story "The Emperor Has No Clothes," a brilliant little piece. Everyone's been pretending they don't see what they see for so long that they really no longer see it! Does it remind you a bit of the CDC and the Secret Service actions of late? Everyone thinking they're so smart, when they are entirely failing their mission. What we all need is a bit of humility, especially when we get to a position of "authority." I guess that also includes the rank and file nurses who "forget" (?) the training on Ebola assessment. (Oops!) Responsibility is a scary thing and everyone can make mistakes. But each of us, all up and down the chain of command, let us not let our hubris blind us to our responsibilities, from this point forward. (My sermon and my prayer...) More cartoons, please.:)

Yep, but our suggestion box looks strangely like a garbage can.

Ditto. We had a meeting once upon a time with our higher management folks and provided a lot of suggestions of what we wanted/needed in order to do our jobs and meet the things they wanted us to meet (such as a certain percentage of staff who became certified). Nearly a year later, we have heard absolutely nothing in response or seen any of those suggestions instituted.

Correction and spoiler alert: the story is "The Emperor's New Clothes."
