workaday Wednesday

My workplace loves to collect feedback, but rarely-to-never does anything about it. (Except collect more feedback. They have straight-up said they will keep collecting feedback until they get the answers they're looking for.) ((I wish I was confident they didn't realize how that would sound.))

This was always baffling to me -- why ask for it but not act on it? Until I finally realized I was focusing on the 'feedback' part, when I should have been focused on the 'collecting' part.

They are *collectors*! All the feedback is going into their collection -- to have the greatest value, it has to remain in mint condition! In the original packaging! It all makes so much more sense now.

LOL, of course! That is clearly the only logical explanation. :-) I wonder if they trade feedback with other collectors... or if they are hoarders!

They are Very Proud of the quantity of feedback they collect, so I imagine they like to show it off to others, though it's probably more of a 'show and tell' than a 'swap and trade.' ;)
