OMR_REPORT_FEB 2022 Excerpt
Employees and senior management report receiving an unprecedented number of complaints within the first fortnight of operation. Reviewing the mounting number of complaints has become a colossal task. Numerous employees themselves have submitted their own applications for dissociation. Necessary measures were taken by senior management to provide aftercare and psychological support to the department’s remaining staff, which have yet been unable to prevent the mounting resignation of employees.
Memo: 31 March TO: OMR Management, SUBJECT: Resignation with Immediate effect -
Months after the abandoning of operations, and much to the surprise of the senior management, the machinery of our office continues to function. I do not know who ensures this, there is no one here. The public continues to submit applications of complaints and our office machinery continues to generate evaluations. Today is my last day.
