They absolutely know who has and who hasn’t taken the survey.
How? Everybody keeps saying this, but how do they know?

“ If you don't think they know and you've already taken it,then go try to take it again. You'll get a message saying your UserID has already taken it. So they obviously know. The question is are they actively looking at it.“
“They” is a third party. It is not AT&T that administers or complies the survey results.
So yes, “they” know you have already taken it if you try to take it again.

“ I know they don’t care but I can’t wait to learn if anyone actually reads it…”
100% correct in that, no one cares.
But make no mistake, they absolutely DO read the comments. So good on you.
@gt Your explanation and fact based detail cannot make a dent in the thick brick paranoia on this topic.
On the last day of the survey, we got one more reminder from our supervisor, begging for 100% participation. And pointed out only 1 person in the group didn’t complete (me). I logged in, quickly clicked through without reading and entered this where you could add a comment, “I did not read the questions but I answered AGREE to all because at a recent town hall our CEO said a small percent of our bonus was linked to the survey results.” I know they don’t care but I can’t wait to learn if anyone actually reads it, or if my supervisor or director makes a comment about it.
It’s not anonymous.
“ And try doing it a second time. It will say you completed it. They know.”
The paranoia with some of you is exhausting.
Of course you can’t take the survey twice. Of course the system recognized you already did.
Yes you enter your UID. There is a lengthy explanation at the start of the survey on how they keep it anonymous. It is a third party company that administers the survey and compiles the results.
I have been here involved with surveys for over 20 years. Never saw any individual UID tied to any specific survey. Never saw any list of UIDs that did or did not take the survey. All we get is a report on the percentage that has participated. That’s it. Nothing else.
They know. Incredible amount of tracking on surveys. It's not a COBC violation to skip taking it, neither are your comments/feedback. But, yes, they know who you are. You need not worry, unless your comments fall into the category that could get law enforcement's attention.
And try doing it a second time. It will say you completed it. They know.
Before you start taking the survey it tells you it is "confidential" but that the full data including identifying information is provided in a data file "to HR for research purposes". HR has the full data of every response and who said it. All it takes is the Stank man to ask for it "for research". His daughter is in HR, so he could just ask her for it.
@ff You must have slipped through the cracks. Hopefully luck runs out soon, and they fire your
- ss right quick.
If the survey were not confidential, including knowing who did/did not take the survey, I would have been let go years ago.
Be a man (I guess) and stand on your principles to not complete the survey. Tough, plucky, he-man type guys don't worry about how your leadership will know if you don't do the survey. Just don't do it, please.
Who cares? Just fill the friggin thing out.
Because you literally have to login with your ATTUID to access it amd complete it. I tried to email it to myself outside of ATT and could not access it otherwise. Not to mention our managers telling us to do it and coming directly to the folks who havent done it and actually hounding us to do it. I legit had to call my union rep because I refused to do it and they told me I had to do the VOLUNTARY survey.
When is someone going to make up an employee led survey on survey monkey and post the address here for responses?
Anyone who has to ask is to d-mb to do the job if you ask me..
Look at it this way, the company states that the results are “confidential”, they Do Not state that they are anonymous. With that being the case, and given how the company has made the pivot to a surveillance culture, you know that they can identify who did or did note complete it. In addition, if they choose, they can identify specific employee responses. Nothing within this company is anonymous at this point.
I mean, you login with a global ID...
