Does it exist anymore? I haven't received one in a couple of years. I have been thinking about the questions on there related to communication from upper management. I would answer those different now than I used to.....

I think they're only effective if you have a bad first-line manager. But, again, they're not anonymous, by any means. That said, although I've received a few requests in the past recent years, I don't fill them out cuz first line fast been good and no need to problem info that could hurt me. Don't trust 'em!
I always answer honestly, which is the upper management s---s and doesn't know what happens on the ground floor, so they have no real idea of what needs to be done big picture. I am always able to do my job, it is upper management and the unwillingness to get rid of dead weight that is the issue.
I refused to fill those out since everything I would have stated would be negative. I think they were able to put a target on my back because of it. Corporate c---s---ers living in a cornfield....
I haven't seen what TGI discribed for the last 8-10 yrs. Not sure that is accurate anymore
Leadership pay/incentives are based partially on the responses of their team(s). That’s why you often have a meeting or witch hunt if they get bad results. It is anonymous, and if a particular leader has fewer than 5 responses, their people get grouped with the level above them. If you’re the only person regularly complaining on a 5 person team, then yes, it’s probably easy for them to figure out who it was.
And it is not anonymous
All the questions are worded such that if you dont answer positively you look like a lazy bigot. I was always told you should never send out a survey unless youre willing to improve something based on the responses. Sounds like they got the message and quit?
@TGiWYmb-oqw - In my Proximity area any low or middle mgt that pushed back against anything Leadership wanted were not offered jobs in the latest re-org. Upper mgt sent a very loud message that they didn't want to hear anything but yes. Very discouraging.
I got one too a few months ago. Answered honestly. We haven't received any type of feedback. I don't think how we feel matters anyway, so whats the point of sending them out??
Don't fool yourself into thinking your opinion matters. For example: news Hub responses are "cleansed" of any feedback that opposes the company view.
Providing feedback through opinion surveys just let leadership know who is and isnt supporting executives agenda.
I am seeing No real interest in building the business, just a desire by low and mid-level leadership to say whatever executive wants to hear.
This place is a mess
I got one a few months ago, answered honestly
Yeah still there, i just ignore it. Why would I want to give away data to bean counters.
It's out there, just not called "opinion" any longer, because the powers that be do not care
