While your name may not be on it your manager will get to read it. My manager brought up how someone threw him under the bus about training and I know he knew it was me.
@m4 I did the survey and still got emails and saw the same Flagscape note
FS browser front page knew I didn't take the survey yet. How's that for anonymous?
I had a co worker who responded strongly disagree to the question, would you recommend bank of america to your friends and family?
Guess what, he was pulled up a week later and asked why he thinks that.
There’s no such thing as anonymous survey
No, nothing done on a work computer is anonymous. HR knows who says what in surveys and targets negative associates for layoffs and termination.
Yes and no. As B3 states, if your familiar voice comes through, it’s obvious. Above B3, who knows. But why take the risk? You KNOW it’s logged somewhere and someone can see who said what.
My advice - 3’s down the middle, no comments. It doesn’t matter what you whine about, it’s not going to change a thing, and will likely result in more useless and uncomfortable team meetings later on.
I have sat in meetings where the comments from the team were shared to everyone. We all basically knew who was saying what.
Only comments to make: (1) PAY ME!! (2) No more than 3 days!!
C-Suite here. Everyone is lying to you but me.
B2 here. @aj B3 is a liar 🤥
If I dont write anything then?
B3 manager here.... there is actually no way for us to know on the report, and we only get the written comments if 7 DRs complete the survey, which not all do.
When they do, it's just an dump load of the comments by topic. So it's not like we even see the responses by any single individual all bundled together into one rant.
That said, if you mention any details about a specific situation, location, or use wording/phrases you are known for, then, it's pretty easy to discern who's who,
I have a colleague who is an a-hole that I wanted to smudge as well provide my own nasty feedback on everything they ask about, so I wrote my responses using his words/phrases and cited his location. So I got to unload my beefs with the bank as well as get back at a useless do-nuthin' Fave.
Double the fun!
If our manager even bothers to read.... but HR will 100% for sure.

They are to an extent that your typed responses if you are not careful, could be attributed to your writing style.
