Recently at a company town hall, “please respond the anonymous employee satisfaction survey.”
My boss a couple of weeks later, “HR says they need more surveys from our group. Please encourage your teams to fill them out.”
Yeah, completely anonymous.

Every company I’ve worked at sends these surveys out and says they are “anonymous”. I never respond to them.
-
If they are truly anonymous, why does my boss personally call me out to respond to them? I know it may track if you have submitted the survey. If it has that capability, then it can track you.

I don’t want a “moral boosting” pizza party. Give me more time off or more pay.

And why is the url they send always “website.com/survey-name/[random hash]”? Why are there trackers on this totally anonymous, fo sho, survey link?

I respond to all of them with brutal honestly. My most recent one was along the lines of
“A major topic of the town hall meeting was the push to get [sales number] by the end of the year. We did the same thing last year and I got a 2% raise. What is my incentive to make you money if my raises don’t even match inflation?”
Even if it’s anonymous, my boss knows it’s me. This way I can bring it up in my review as a callback as opposed to trying to awkwardly work it in to the conversation

If a “raise” doesn’t even cover inflation, it’s not a raise
glimse@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes agreed. I make about 2% less than what I was hired at adjusted for inflation after 3 years despite doing a lot more work. If I don’t get a 10% raise, I’ll be calling back the recruiter who has been trying to poach me for 3 years.

I did something similar to this but I misremembered the figure. So I got to watch my boss fiddle and fumble for the courage to say ‘actually it was only an X% raise, not Y%’

LOL I like it, take it one step further too: “…and you’ll be hearing about this shit during my performance review!”
