LA COTORREADA


Explanation:
THE "squawk box" is a term that can be viewed as negative but in this case is a positive because what the organization is trying to say to the employee is that this is an opportunity for employees to speak up about anything on their mind without fear of a backlash. In other words it is a gabfest but also an opportunity to get things done. Hence " la cotorreada" or "el cotorreo"
