Subject: RE: MEETINGS ABOUT THE PROPOSAL
We believe that it is important that you and all our employees have a full understanding of what is going on so that you can make the best decisions for you and your family. We believe that if you do what is best for you and your family most of the time that is also the best thing for Oak Harbor. We have heard from our employees that communication is important to them and we agree, so much so that we are willing to have meetings while our employees are on the clock.
I am concerned you don’t understand why we do the meetings the way we do. This information is important and often times complex. We want to make sure that all our employees have their questions answered and that no misinformation is given. We have found that if you hand out a document for people to read on their own they don’t typically ask questions. This is why we have the supervisor’s read the documents in the meetings and note down any questions that come up. Our instructions to the supervisor is to then take those questions and forward them to asktheboss so that we can include them in the next Q&A. I would encourage you to ask your questions in the meetings so that we can answer them to everyone. If it is unclear or important to you then it is more than likely unclear or important to others. Of course, you always have the opportunity to send your question to asktheboss directly like you did this time.
Thank you for your question.

HOW MUCH IS THIS COSTING THE COMPANY TO HAVE THESE MEETINGS EVERY WEEK WHERE THE EMPLOYEES ARE ATTENDING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHILE ON THE CLOCK???
THIS COULD BE GOING TOWARDS THE MEDICAL THAT WE WANT!!!!!
NOT ONLY ARE THESE MEETINGS COSTING THE COMPANY MONEY, BUT WE JUST LISTEN TO SOMEONE READ A DOCUMENT THAT WE COULD READ OURSELVES AND WHEN WE ASK QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSAL, THEY SAY WE SHOULD GO TO OAKHANSWERS OR THAT THEY DON’T KNOW!! "
