Do not ignore the opportunity to tell it like you see it. So many are beyond disappointed and talk about it offline, well now write it out. Someone suggested not participating. That doesn’t move the metrics at all. Participate and tell it like you are when you think leadership isn’t listening. Don’t be a coward!!!!

No, it's called writing simply and clearly to make a point. Go back to HR, or gender studies, or sociology class.
Better yet, go to that le----n bar in Boston that still requires masks, 6 years later. They'll undoubtedly take your complaint seriously there. The rest of us no longer pay attention to woefully educated, poorly informed, mouthy people who are always looking for someone to blame.
Those days are over.
@OP what would really separate the cowards from the people that demand action and really want to send a message is if we all just don't f'n show up on October 5th. Then maybe our voice will be heard.
The people running this company are frauds. They’ve been doing it for a long time, and now they’re getting exposed. Keep exposing them. They hate it and it’s fun to watch them lose whatever reputation they think they still maintain.
What's hilarious is I'm not hiding behind my keyboard, I know how they manage those reports and without hesitation, I still give my blatantly honest feedback. Guess what happens - NOT A DAMN THING! Every time. Do we have fewer white leaders and more women leaders yet? Nope. Do we get raises or promotions based on merit versus having to fight a random person for a senior title for a position I've been doing for 5-10 years? Again NOPE. We are out here fighting for our lives for what we've working for all along and still being told, we don't promote - you have to apply. So, @OP - tell me again why we should be giving our feedback on this survey? Who does it actually benefit? None of the words I heard out of any leader's mouths seemed to focus on the real issues that us employees are concerned with. Instead of insulting people with the word coward - convince us why these matters.
@18q Exactly. They are only here to enrich themselves and use you to that end. They will cut you at the first opportunity if it means more for them. This is true of every Director+ that I have seen at this company. It is a one-way street.
@18q also you probably are someone who would be financially impacted because you are clearly s-xist, "Ask him if his comp is impacted" fun stuff.
@18c director and above are impacted. Plus they'll just lie to you anyway. Everyone needs to stop putting any faith or giving these people the benefit of the doubt. Your responses mean nothing. They don't care about us or the customers anymore. Anyone above the boots on the ground are completely useless. Have you ever given feedback or practical solutions to pain points and been heard? Its just gas lighting. Don't take the survey.
Ask your boss if his comp is affected by how many people take the survey. Base your actions on how he responds.
SIT IT OUT! They value participation; they will see it as you still care about this company. If you think we are heading in the wrong direction SIT IT OUT. Apathy speaks louder than anger.
@13k Amen Sister! Preach!
@OP Oct 6th is the day layoff are going to happen :(
These surveys are not anonymous. They are noted as “confidential”. Assume upper leadership (VP) can see responses.
My director and senior director never get impacted by the surveys. They get negative reviews and want to always talk about how to raise the score. That still get their bonus and merit increase and boast about their new home remodel or luxury cruise they will be taking or what new car to get.
Lets review the incentive behind getting these surveys filled. Survey completion percentage (regardless of good or bad sentiment) is an important metric for Directors and VPs performance measurement. In times like this where company is going through massive reductions, negative sentiment is expected so leadership is not expected or seriously considers solving the raised concerns. However they are still measured for survey completions. Do the math. Stay informed.
I don't think anyone cares about this anymore...morale is that bad...something big and transformational will need to happen soon if we are to recover from this slump. This ship needs a new captain, and to set a new course. This is the metaphor.
This means nothing, unless you tell it like it is. Stop scoring what they want to see. And score the unexpected
You can also TRY to be anonymous about your written responses, but the Directors force their manager to figure out who wrote the bad thing about them so the manager can "coach" the employee.
That’s what they want you to do is the survey. The directors are judged on how many employees do the survey. Part of their bonus depends on it. Don’t do it and see how excited your manager gets when people don’t respond. Think about it. What if say half of the employees just don’t respond? That sends a message not by completing the survey
Incorrect. Taking the survey directly ties into leadership bonuses. By taking the survey (your feedback being ignored anyway) you are putting money in these weasels pockets. Why do you think they pressure us so much to take them? Pretty sure OP is someone who would be negatively impacted financially. The coward is the person putting money in "leaders" pockets. The only way we can hurt them is by impacting their pay and by having the pressure turned back towards them for lack of participation.

Total waste of time. For what?
Get outta here, I have got a resume to update and hope I land another job.
