Can you tell the truth?

I know early up in this class we learned about the Caribbean context of communication and of the mistrust. Its however quite interesting to see it play our in our audit. The office were are auditing comprises of over 80% of the staff being female and its quite interesting the different vies of management that you get. From the extremely kind to the uncaring bosses the responses are varied. It is however quite interesting to see when the response are being made the body language. Some connote fear, some just want to make a statement and some are submissive to the will of the bosses. While I don't think this will affect the audit results it makes me wonder , Can employees tell the truth?

This audit is designed to help them but the fear of conflict and victimization may be two possible repercussions that may occur so some employees do not tell the truth. In the long run it hurts and does not help the company as issues that could be identified as hindering the communication process. It however reminds us that we still have the mass/slave mentality and we bow to pressure for our pay and say nothing bad. Hopefully we can evolve to meet the global standards which are set in employment and move the Caribbean forward to be one of the most productive regions in the world.
