I put in a comment about the orange man photos on the walls (among other things). Been here 10 years and honestly at this point don’t care. It’s a hostile work environment, ask anyone to a person they’re all overwhelmed and understaffed. The way I see it, if they fire me over that then it’s been real. They asked for no games. So no games it is.

Used every single one of the 3000 characters the survey gave us to "tell executive leadership" what I thought (mostly about them). Miserable on all counts.

Anyone want to trade comment boxes? Seems less likely that they pin specific comments about my leadership on me if they show up in a completely different BU’s results. 😀

@mn Do people really think Pulte is looking at any of this or picks who to get rid of? He might pick or have some say with the higher ups, but he isn't choosing the 300 or so that get let go in most of the layoffs. More than likely, FHFA has a certain number they want down to and the decisions are being made more by middle management and HR which specific people.

They’re saved by your emp ID. Higher ups typically only get aggregate level info, but given how willing Pulte is to skirt rules, he could easily access them individually. Main deterrence is having to sift thru 6k+ responses, but AI could help identify to complainers quickly.

@c0 agree. Trust absolutely nothing in this environment. It is as toxic as it gets.

The survey indicates clearly that it is confidential, no where does it say that it is anonymous. That said, I was candid.

@db I think we will find out if it's anonymous or not. If you know what I mean. 😉

Anonymous surveys don't have unique URLs. Come on, people. You are business professionals; use your critical thinking skills. If they want to know who wrote it, they will find out.

Managers that have more than five direct reports can see results in aggregate. VPs and above get the comments as well by level. While names are not necessarily associated with the results there’s probably a level to which anonymity can be broken in certain circumstances. So your proximity to your VP matters and it can be easy to figure out who said what. My suggestion would be to say what you have to say as professionally and forward-looking as possible. They are looking to see who is drinking the Kool-Aid too.

Nowhere on it does it say it's anonymous. Managera and Directors get aggregates data, but the higher you go, the less aggregated it is.
You can click the link and pick up where you left off and they know who you report to.
It's not remotely anonymous and given the political climate, I don't even feel comfortable taking it this year.
We have a hostile.work environment with partisan photos on our walls. Tread carefully!

Why not say something this time? You can still go in and edit it. You can say how you feel while still being tactful.

It’s managed by an external party (PWC), so they aren’t passing your name along with your answers… but because results are grouped by manager (for groups of 5 of more), depending on your team make up, they can probably make a decent guess of who says what.
