Ah Geok's minions sent out this mail:
==========================
Hi *
insert name of branch*,
As
my dept widens its scope of duties and takes on more responsibilities, Management would like to ensure that our staff have the best working environment and that our staff's needs are well taken care of.
As this concerns the well-being of every staff in
my dept, we would like to ensure all the voices in
my dept are heard. There will be a piece of paper passed to you in a while. Please return back when you're done.
So feel free to pop down your ideas by next Monday.
Thank you.

As expected, none of us really bothered because time and again, it has been proven that what we said will not be entertained.
If she really has our interests at heart, there will not be this stupid 龙虎榜 telling the whole world who has the highest MC rate from each branch and who actually tops the dept in terms of having taken the most number of medical leave.
If she really has our interests at heart, she would not have kept the circular which tells us that we can leave early on a certain Friday cuz its a civil service wide 'Family Day'.
If she really has our interests at heart, she would not have events such as sharing sessions at the end of Wednesdays when we can officially knock off early.
If she really has the interest of us at heart, she would not expect her staff to be on standby day and night, and expects us (ok not me but some of the others) to reply emails and submit reports during weekends
If she really has our interests at heart, 'the piece of paper' that has been passed to us will not have our names written on them, since its meant to be feedback
p.s. Parts of the email had been amended (words in green)
