Does this survey determine store manager,Asm,and Dept.Supervisors bonus? Or does it just determine your own supervisors in your department. They say it anonymous so shouldn't your opinion reflect every member of management from your store and bit select few?

I'm currently a SASM. I will tell you that part of the survey function is to identify stores at risk of unionization. I'm in a "red store" because of the survey and other factors, meaning the store is at a very high susceptibility to unionization within the year.
Trust me, they know exactly who's giving ratings and said what. I've seen over the years I've been with Blowes, people literally written up for non-issues and fired directly after the survey. One guy was fired last year for failing to pull a appliance delivery that went out a month later.
The difference between confidentiality and anonymity is123:
Anonymity means the identity is hidden from everyone, while confidentiality means hiding the identity from the public.
Confidentiality involves the agreement, while anonymity doesn’t.
Anonymity means you don’t know who the participants are, while confidentiality means you know who they are but remove identifying information from your research report.
Confidentiality refers to keeping information private between two parties, while anonymity means that the person’s identity is unknown.

It's confidential not anonymous
They don't care about the results, just how many people take it. It's all about the participation rate, not the results.
It don't matter if that survey is anonymous or not. What ever comes out of it anyways. It's meaningless.
It's not anonymous, believe me, when I worked at Lowe's, left in May 2021, management would hunt you down to take the survey. They know.
The survey's I believe are rigged and NOT anonymous. In our district of 1221, the district manager had the SSA's "schedule" in KRONOS select days/times for every associate in the store to take the survey in the training room in full view of the store manager who sat back there the entire time. Associates much like myself were complaining about this among ourselves but felt helpless and intimated. Talk about uncomfortable and unethical. The same district manager I heard had his district become the #1 district in the company for (albeit "FORCED!!") participation. The results in our store was worse than the previous years. So I don't see why they're celebrating participation over results. If they weren't watching us, ensuring it was not anonymous, the results probably would've been even worse than they were. Thankfully they were still worse than the prior year even though they tried the intimidation tactic.
How can an associate give an honest opinion if they are pointed out in a review?
Emailed directly should be how they do nation wide for all associates ? Am I wrong?
If it’s emailed to you …. It’s not anonymous.
Depends on how they present it to you
Is this anonymous? They say it is. If it isn't isn't that illegal in some sort of way?
