Then a survey about Glob's survey.
If memory serves correctly, January marks the two year anniversary of when the 'plan' to deal with the survey results should have been released to employees. This was according to an email from our esteemed leader after the 'pretty appalling' results.

How about respect?
The boys and gals at Westjet are not unionized but yet, their employer treats them with respect.
WestJet to pursue more widebody aircraft following pilots’ approval

Canadian low-cost carrier (LCC) WestJet has been given the go-ahead from its pilots to acquire additional widebody aircraft.
Calgary-based WestJet currently operates four Boeing 767-300s from destinations in Canada to Hawaii and London Gatwick. The carrier, which was founded in 1996 and operated an all-737 mainline fleet for most of its existence, has said its initial widebody, long-haul flights that began in January 2016 have been a success. As a result, WestJet has signaled its intention to acquire additional widebody aircraft to launch more long-haul routes.
But the airline’s labor agreement with its pilots did not allow it to add more widebody aircraft. WestJet has remained non-unionized through its existence. Most WestJet employees own stock in the company and the consistently profitable airline has engaged in regular profit sharing, which has largely led to labor peace at the company.
The carrier’s 1,380 pilots are represented by the WestJet Pilots Association, which collectively bargains on behalf of the carrier’s flight deck crew, but does not consider itself a union and is not affiliated with any larger unions.
In November, the airline’s rank-and-file pilots overwhelming voted to reject a new agreement that would have allowed the carrier to add more widebody aircraft. WestJet negotiated changes, and a revised agreement was put up for a vote in December. The airline said the pilots accepted the new deal in voting that concluded Dec. 23.
“This agreement … now allows us to proceed with plans to expand our widebody operations to new destinations in the future,” WestJet said in a statement. “We will now turn our attention to acquiring additional widebody aircraft.”
WestJet’s pilots have been the target of a unionization campaign by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the largest pilots’ union in the world. “I’m going to go down fighting to prevent the unionization of WestJet,” WestJet CEO Gregg Saretsky recently told the Calgary Herald, arguing it does not make sense for “middle men” to get between airline management and the carrier’s employees.

How about every other department and employee being held to the same level of accountability as we are.
I know it's an old cliché, but to be honest, if we did our jobs as poorly as some of these clowns, there'd be tails in the sides of mountains......
