Survey came out again. On my team our Manager consistently since being in her position from this past January brings up in our team meetings an intimidating tone about what we answer to the survey questions. Toxicity at its finest. We are all scared on a daily basis, afraid to speak up, and yet the one place we can express our concerns through our monthly surveys we are intimidated to persuade us into being afraid to express ourselves. I am general in what I share in those surveys and for good reason!! The one place to relief stress in an honest, forthright manner, and this is what we get: intimidation in hopes of silencing us to protect herself to maintain her own job security. So toxic.

@hs Same. I'm not scared of them.
I’m always honest on the surveys. If they fire me then they fire me. One of my managers in the past was horrible at her job and I made it very clear how bad she was. Another manager basically threatened us to fill out the survey. So I mentioned that in the survey as well. Funny because that manager was let go.
@ct Your Manager sounds like a pill. A real loser with a capital ‘L’ on the forehead.
@cy Ps.I mean HR and the people leaders and company being deceptive, not the poster that was informing us.
@bw Wow! Talk about DECEPTION!!!
That is psychotic type deception there!
@ce yes, it IS our “toxic” manager who sternly steers us to not submit honest feedback that makes her “look bad”.
People leaders are required to review survey outcomes and write action plans by HR. It’s not your “toxic” people leader.
These surveys are 100% linked to your personal work profile. They can say “trust us only you can access it” all they want, but only a fool would believe that. Don’t answer these surveys.
Don’t answer it and when she asks tell her you did it, end of discussion. If you answer openly and honestly, no one is gonna get punished except you!
@OP You do know they are not anonymous. Thats a lie to get you to complete them. I have seen people affected in next round of layoffs after being brutally honest on them.
I don’t get why they do these surveys. Especially during a time when everyone is frustrated and stressed out. Do they think they will get positive results?
"Gee manager, I answered openly and honestly based on my experiences over the last year. Same as I've always done. I'm doing the right thing, right?"
Wow you have team meetings, our manager hasn’t had one with the team since March.
@OP yeah, us, too! “Morning huddle”. What a joke. Managed by fear and intimidation.
