What are your thoughts on taking the survey? This is my first time taking the survey and I’m not sure how honest I can be.

I filled it in ONCE. the day after I got a call from an ethics investigator with the message "as a follow up to your replies provided yesterday" ...
When I asked how they knew what I replied ... silence.
THEY KNOW! Nothing is confidential.
It’s not anonymous. They know who you are within 3 people. They have your immediate lead and location. The supervisors see your writing. They know topics you’ve discussed, what you may be disgruntled about or questions asked. They know who said what. Anonymous is as big a joke as the fact that they “respect privacy”. They will sell your personal info including income for $25 to anyone. Moved to Raytheon and that was my out paperwork. They gave an opt out option but no way to follow that trail and confirm it was completed.
want to see fur fly? comment or imply unionization is critical to future success -
@d4 the place is ran by incredibly overstaffed upper management and HR. thats why it's failing
@d4 "we contract out to glint" lmao
cute. none of that sh-t is real
Former site director here - the feedback is absolutely not anonymous. Hr partner called one day for a meeting. Reviewed specific comments made that linked to their employee ID. If you are a Band 3 or above you should not take the survey.
The survey responses are NOT anonymous. The raw data - meaning your employee ID and your survey responses and comments are available to Corp HR. So they can see all the detail and who knows how they share that data.
One year, the only thing that happened was that we were all assigned more meetings and work to fix the problems that we raised in the survey.
Another year, our team had the lowest satisfaction in company history (true story). We had to meet with HR and our manager's manager to talk about why we were unhappy. We were all laid off or reassigned over the next year. Our manager and her boss kept their jobs.
I have given negative feedback in the past. No consequences other than my manager asked me why I gave the feedback! So its not anonymous. But theyalso dont fire you for telling the truth. They fire you for the reasons anyone gets fired. You su-k,or on a whim, or to fudge or profit for the quarter. Lots of reasons we could be let go, I doubt the survey is one. But yes, its not anonymous. Write your responses knowing this. Or dont. Its not mandatory. Ifyou feel safe giving your manager feedback to their face, this is no different.
@e8 the best - just don't do it, the strongest VOE is absense.
Fu-k those surveys.
Keep it generic enough so it doesn’t come across as complaining or targeting any specific individual, especially not your direct manager who will likely know who said what even if they aren’t being given the names. It is OK to express frustrations and share criticism.
Doesn't it say something to all of you about the company you are working for if you can't complete a survey honestly? Time to look for a descent company to work for....
HT survey sham - just like HW Inc survey
@d6 this is not true, Glintjsurbey require authentication and HR does know who submitted what.
If you’re talking the surveys after town halls and such, they are not anonymous. If you mean the VOE, done through glint and no HW access to personal info, just don’t identify yourself in comments.
VOE Warning! This all gets put back on your direct manager. Every single score goes against your direct supervisor and higher ups take no accountability for the questions and scores they should be addressing. They push it back down to your direct manager and tell them to come up with a plan to fix all the scores for next year. They then average all the organization scores for the higher ups so they still look good overall. If you got a bad manager score truthfully, if you got a rare good manager, give them a good score but direct all comments specifically at the function or higher ups so it still goes into the overall comment pool. It’s rigged. Also your manager gets cr-p if you don’t do it too, so it’s structured to put middle management in the crosshairs.
The good: it actually is anonymous. We contract out to glint and they won’t share names or identifying information.
The bad: if you have specific gripes and write that in and your complaining about those same things in person, yes they can piece that together and figure out who.
@bn Write feedback on the growth pitch for cross business selling. That has been the highlight of this week and I definitely lost my confidence on HT execs.
Of course it can be tracked, unless your team is 20 plus.
Freedom of Speech
Vs.
Honeywell SameOldBS
Guys, the best move is not to respond to the survey.
First, your responses can be tracked, so you may not be able to speak freely without risking consequences. Second, they count the response rate as a measure of employee satisfaction, which could make your manager push even harder for everyone to participate.
So, if you really want to send a message, don’t respond to the survey at all.
None of it is anonymous. Absolutely none of it. If you put anything negative, expect to be shortlisted for a layoff or firing. If you are using a computer to input anything, it can be traced. Ask anyone with experience in Honeywell for a least 2 years. None of their questions are actually trying to make things better for employees. It is to get rid of any dissent or anyone that has the temerity to ask questions.
I think they limit who can respond - my link isn’t working - and remember - they are never truly anonymous. HR can and does see your name on the responses
I look at it like "if I can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".
