Parade nights aside, Wednesday is the worst day of the week for people being away for work too!

I think this is one of those things where theres no right answer

If everyone is equally unhappy it’s probably the right answer.

33:45, commenting about this ACC Thread, is the soundbite of the session for me, not sure in the remainder anyone will improve on it.

I cheered when I heard that comment - someone who gets it!

though I bet there are a few oc wgs who aren’t happy!

Odd, still works for me

Maybe because you were in the meeting whilst I wasn’t.

I too was very pleased to hear that attitude when it was said. I missed the initial context of why it came up, but I was snapped out of whatever was distracting me at the sound of those words, followed up with:

I’ve got no preconception. Speaking to anybody, I would rather someone get in contact with me on Teams give me the feedback or feed it back into the loop because you’ve all got such incredible backgrounds in your primary duties. It would be really naïve of me to turn around and say no

To be fair whatever night it happens some will be unable make it, hence the request to rotate the days is probably the best compromise. At least there are recordings afterwards so people and catch up or rewatch. Also good to see lots of +ve comments on here.

That could be it I guess. Though I wasn’t in the CAC meeting and managed to watch that one on Streams. Don’t know, it was mainly just the introduction and Jill talking about herself anyway so it’s not too much of a loss to miss the preamble.

This is pretty incredible to see… I’m hoping that attitude filters down through HQAC and senior CFAV more broadly.

Catching up through these comments and it’s nice to see that there’s a reason to be cheerful after a town hall - and all it took was a little bit of respect and understanding from up on high.

Hopefully this marks the turning of a corner. There are definitely some senior bods who could do with taking a lesson from Jill’s book.

Watched the recording and was pleasantly surprised, especially the write-up which summarised all the key points, Q&As. More of this please!

Only 200 people in tonight’s meeting! Given the topic of communication, I’d thought there would be many more.

I’ll catch up on the recording, I find finishing work at 6 and then cooking dinner disappearing again for cadet stuff doesn’t go down well with OC Home

It’s so far very good. Ken’s a good presenter, and certainly acknowledges we’re not where we could be, and there’s lots to improve. But also acknowledging there is lots that is working too.

Flashbacks to “next slide please” during the Government COVID briefings :rofl:

Bit of a drier and less glamourous topic tonight, but I thought it was good. More progress being made and developments coming down the line.
