SECU Annual Meeting: What's With The Bunker Mentality?

                              Afraid of ... ?  The membership? a green statue with a red face and a netflix logo

"Why would SECU not want to ensure it is responding to member questions vs general public, or even worst, banker submitted questions?"

a green statue with a red face and a netflix logo  Why isn't the SECU Board willing to answer questions from the "general public"? Wouldn't it be a great opportunity to tell our story to all?

SECU Annual Meeting: Intimidating Questions?

 

  ★★  Anonymous September 1, 2025 at 7:05 PM

     Can you elaborate on how this is intimidating? 

 ✅ Four thoughts on that...

1) Employees may be reluctant to submit questions of concern. The fear of retribution by employees - whether real or not - is typical in most businesses.

2) As you've noticed at the national level, retribution is real (by both political parties!) and has become a hard-edged, take no prisoners war.

3) No one believes that the names attached to questions will remain anonymous.

4) The anonymice of "Social Media" (pictured above!) can be both vicious and vindictive, unconstrained by the truth or and need for accuracy.

😎 Why would an SECU member risk "putting themselves in play"? 

Anyway, why is it necessary?
