2. My staff doesn’t understand why you got rid of the staff lounge after the takeover. They say that it said to be a good place to meet people from other departments and to exchange ideas. Most of them still have not met anyone from Sanicorp yet.
3. A lot of middle managers are really confused about who they should report to. We know management are planning a reorganization but isn’t it time they told us what’s happening?
