How often are we supposed to get these as I don't recall ever having one. I have been told from other posties from other offices that they received them after the closing date. So much for having your say.

Our have been so bad that we were getting them every 6 months but we've not had one that is due :hmmmm I think that they won't be sending them out whilst we are going through our IA, afterall, if they stick their fingers in their ears and shout loud enough then they can't be wrong.

Sounds like our last few DOMS, our office is seemingly a 'poisoned chalice', whatever that means.

Poisoned Chalice

noun

Definition:

unenviable task or decision: a task or decision that will almost inevitably bring harm or unpopularity to the person who is forced to assume responsibility for it. :wave
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."

Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.

Now you have this going around my head

You could try contacting TNS, to find out why you haven't recieved them. Here's a Link to the Website they set up for RMG Employees: http://www.starpanels.com/home.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or Email them at: Starpanels@tns-online.com

When they first set it up, they had a Forum. But that was shut down, within months of going live in 2007. Because they ran into legal problems. Not that it was ever busy.

I rarely log on these days (it's rarely updated). But it is there to give us feedback. Then again. I just logged on now, to check. And it's still got the survey about New Years Resolutions, that they put up, at the beginning of January. So that says a lot about how much they really think of our opinions, doesn't it? :arrrghhh
