suggestion box

I know, it does not reflect the 'complaint' of the German. In the USA, there is usually a box outside the manager's office where employees can let off steam or propose improvements. This sounds like it is serving the same purpose.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Stephen Sadie : sorry jc, this is in a company newspaper and not the box often used in a company! //steph**e**n please! OK but i prefer the notion of a "corner" here

Understand Stephan, but it could be titled the SAME thing in the newspaper and EVERYONE, at least in the USA, would understand its purpose.*** Sorry, Stephen, fat fingers. and choice is good for the asker.

Should be "Speakers' Corner", of course. It's hard not to be affected by the prevailing Deppenapostrophisitis.
