Holey writ

The rules are the suggestion has to be in the container or it cannot be considered. Catch-22.

He hasn’t figured out how to put a square peg into a square hole yet

I saw this one years ago and I have been waiting for it to reappear

Suggestions for the suggestible.

Even if the hole was wide enough, that one block looks like it would fill up the rock.

Where I worked, if they had ever put in a suggestion box, it would have had a little chrome handle on the upper side. Sign Insert suggestion here. Turn handle. Stand back.

No boss I knew never wanted to even hear any suggestion..pompous twits!

and line the box with cotton from the inside so tablets won’t break when they fall inside

This is just the management, telling you can’t make any suggestion. At the same time telling you your suggestions are important to us. Ref: Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don’t-I’ve come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,Cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Back in the 90’s, my workplace tried to implement TQM, or “Total Quality Management”. A nebulous concept at best without any clear definition, I think it was meant to allow the underlings (us) to feel more involved in decisions and corporate matters. We attended one training session on it, where all they did was tell us how wonderful and important it was, but could never really define it. But shortly after that was a large round of layoffs, and TQM quietly went out the window, never to be mentioned again.

I made the suggestion to a manager once to tell the owners of the company to quit bird dogging everyone on the floor. The next day I got the notice that “my services were no longer required”…the manager it turns out was also a part owner. oooops.

This reminds me of trying to use a half-dollar coin to purchase a 10-oz. Pepsi in a glass bottle from the vending machine.

Let’s hope that works, BC.

Where did the rest of the tablets go??

We had that where I worked. It became more or less snack time. We took turns buying bags of chips and we’d get pop from the machines in the cafeteria. Total waste of time. Nobody cared.
