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.)

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