Big Sister is Watching You

As part of an ongoing effort to improve communication between administrators and other associates, Setonville (the employee intranet) added an option to comment on news items posted daily.      

Leaders did so with some trepidation, however. And ultimately those who chose to post “anonymously” were not aware that their anonymity was not exactly guaranteed. Kind of like visiting a confessional, in a "retaliation-free environment" - but with a two-way mirror instead of a privacy screen. Surprise. Gotcha!

I pointed that out in a subsequent MyVoice pulse survey (another “anonymous” platform designed to improve communication).
