My team was shown out CES results… I guess. It’s laughable, and totally on brand, that they only show very very select portions of the results now. I have it from very good sources that this is all an exercise in gaslighting, to make it appear the issues are at the team level, not the actual complete systemic dysfunction the aggregate results actually show. Yet another demonstration the emperor has no clothes and we’re lead by a group of sociopaths.

CES is essentially an exercise of buffing up a tu-d to a high gloss and saying how good it looks.
The results are not anonymous, the link is tied to an individual and while HR doesn’t get to see the results by person, the top HR exec does if they really push hard—so beware. This company is a game and those who play it may just survive.
@sj how many did you see? Top 3/bottom 3 correct? Any deep dive into the corporate number? Trends over the last few years? Basically anything like what they showed up pre reorg? Guessing not…
Shocking! Not really. I stopped completing these after being asked to develop a plan for my team to address the poor ratings associated with company growth strategy. My team was not at all involved in establishing any company strategies yet we were somehow going to impact the poor ratings? Needless to say, I 'got right on that.' Just remember, someone will always find a way to describe a pile of cr-p in a positive way.
Our results the last two times showed decent team level ratings and pretty bad corporate level ratings. Maybe your supervisor is whitewashing the presentation of results?
@qw
Have you ever seen the movie, Monsters Inc.? The character Roz, frequently says, “ they are always watching you….”
Nothing is anonymous but the only way to make things better is to express your viewpoint. Just be civil and provide constructive feedback not harsh criticism.
Yes, they may be able to know who responded and who didn’t but If you simply answer with the buttons (choosing disagree, somewhat disagree, neutral, somewhat agree, or agree) and don’t respond with any actual comments they don’t know who you are. Right? Right?
@nb Nope. They know exactly who you are. That’s because the link they provide is unique to you and how they know who responded and who hasn’t.
A a flashing sign of any toxic relationship is when you can’t be honest about problems.
@nb they are not. Know a lot of colleagues who gave honest constructive feedback who were then.labeled as trouble and laid off.
How anonymous are the surveys anyway? Are they really anonymous?
@d3 kudos for having the self respect to be honest.
The results have always been whitewashed. It’s never been about improvement, it’s about misdirection.
I gave the worst survey EVER on every question. Our team results haven’t been released yet. I will laugh if it gets a whitewashing.
Same thing happened to our team. Results were hidden and cherry picked. The company is in complete dysfunction as a result of the botched reorganization. It took a while for the cracks to fully form but now they are splitting like an earthquake. Morale is in total freefall as well. The only thing propping it all up is the oil price.
