Don’t bother sending us anonymous letters

Over the last few months, we have received an anonymous letter every now and again, about the treatment of employees at a particular council and requesting action. Anonymous letters get the treatment they deserve in our office, anyone can assert they are a member or make any allegation, and we can’t check or verify. So, a quick read, and out they go.

We’re happy to be involved everywhere, whether we have members in management about whom complaints are being made or whatever, but no one responds to anonymous complaints because they have no integrity. Anyone who wants anything done can have letters or emails dealt with complete confidentially, but we can’t talk to anonymous people.

In the third letter, a question was asked about whether we had done or could do something, and we wonder, what sort of person makes an anonymous complaint, and then asks for a response? Never a dull minute, in our office.
