From Donna’s Desk

I put out a suggestion box for the mental wellness grant.
Simple ask: Write your idea, drop it in, walk away.
That’s it.
And yet, the moment the box hit the table… something shifted.
There was whispering.
Pens vanished.
There was a whiff of a cigar-smoke-filled poker room.
The suggestion box is still sealed.
But I already have questions:
-
What’s the weirdest suggestion box moment you’ve ever witnessed?
-
How do you gather honest input without inviting... interpretive chaos?
-
And what actually belongs in a workplace wellness plan?
If you’ve ever tried to welcome feedback while quietly fearing the penmanship, the tone, or the sheer volume of emojis, then this space is for you.
Drop a comment. Share your story.
Or just tell me what you’d put in the box if no one was watching.
I won’t judge.
(But I might brace.)

If you know someone who would enjoy this mental wellness grant comic, feel free to pass it along. Sharing is the one thing that doesn't require documentation.

Same and it’s funny the fish didn’t vote the same!
