  • Debora: My son was kind of sad to see the big ruffly ribbons for some of the winners last year (he got a small one). Have you guys thought of doing all the same ribbon with categories for each submission instead :"most deadly, most silly, most technical.."

  • RGrover: Have an open, public meeting of the Board and Ms. Elder with the employees free to speak openly. Whatever the lofty words & goals of this statement, there's a total failure to acknowledge the obvious fact: employees have no faith or confidence in Elder.
