A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.

Just FYI, they’re not really anonymous. These surveys get reported back to each individual manager with the responses, ratings given, and counts of staff completed; so it is very easy for managers to discern who wrote what.

I figure they aren’t. I didn’t curse or name anyone by name, I just made it pretty clear that the understaffing is job performance at a pretty severe level and that the workload has everyone miserable

It depends. I worked in comms in place that did these and set them up. I made sure they were anonymous- down to making sure that questions about demographics or which part of the organisation you worked in weren’t too specific.

If they - for example are using MS Forms set to anonymous there’s no way for the org to capture your details if you don’t give yourself away.

My own feedback was pretty brutal
