How many of you are actually honest on the survey? Every year the SLT says scores are great, people are happy, etc. Which does not line up with anecdotal info from most in GCSO.

I think most people are kinda honest on the survey, but shade their answers toward being more positive.
Reality is probably 15 to 20% worse than the survey results (before being massaged, or aggregated in a way that gives TPTB the answers they like.
BTW: Isn't Pappas due for another fake award, soon?
Don't worry they've ordered every ELT member to make a post on Viva Engage this week giving you pithy bullet points on what has supposedly improved since the last MyVoice. Just search MyVoice on there and read the ridiculousness for yourselves. Have you actually experienced any of the things they're claiming happened in the last year?
@dr
Great, great
@dr I didn't know that, but I can believe it. Reminds me of this joke:
"In the beginning was the Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of sh-t, and it stinketh."
And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying, "It is a container of excr-ment, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertiliser, and none may abide its strength."
And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Directors then went onto the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth and is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went unto the President, saying unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company; with powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan, and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
This is How Sh-t Happens."
As results are shared up the executive levels, comments are scrubbed and scrubbed again. This is why execs see everything as being great. There is literally a MyPath project every year to help scrub the comments. This place has no shame.
When I worked there, I never filled it out.
I figured:
- If they didn't listen to me during the day, why would they listen to a survey?
- They're pretty much going to say what they want anyway. Why give them any data
If you read the information about the survey, it tells you that it is totally voluntary, and that it is not anonymous. "Confidential", yes, but "confidential" doesn't mean very much.
The one time I was brutally honest on a survey, management summoned me like I’d been caught committing a felony and asked why I made the comments I did. Apparently, “anonymous feedback” means “anonymous until we figure out exactly who said it.” Needless to say, I’ll never take one of those surveys again. I’ve learned my lesson: from now on, my feedback will be professionally curated, spiritually unavailable, and absolutely none of their business.
I always was brutally honest. After 15 years they laid me off lol
Employees never say what they truly feel since it is NOT anonymous.
