When HR asks you to spend a few minutes taking the “anonymous” survey they’ve made.
@anderseknert knowing multiple people who got reprimanded and fired for honestly answering such polls is why I refuse to even open these unless they are evidently unable to identify respondents.
@anderseknert my company doesn't even claim our survey is anonymous anymore - apparently some privileged people in HQ now have access to all the responses. Needless to say, response rates dropped when they announced this improvement.
@anderseknert Sure it's anonymous! But for statistical reasons we need you to enter your title, department, location and how long you've been part of the company. No biggie!
@xibe Just a formality, really.
@xibe @anderseknert And of course it has a unique URL per employee…
I always assumed that my boss could identify my comments from my phraseology. Fortunately he was cool (small company).
@anderseknert That's why you always fill these out from your coworker's workstation. :)
@anderseknert Been there 
The aptly- named #360
@anderseknert maybe the criticism was really roundabout and circuitous?
@anderseknert Same with the anonymous surveys from my physician's office
@anderseknert life comes at you fast…
@anderseknert this is Mao's 'let 100 flower bloom' period. Followed by a severe crackdown on those who voiced concerns... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Flowers_Campaign
@anderseknert @_L1vY_ (not to derail but same as musk’s encouragement of ’free speech’)
@anderseknert @popularposts Someone in my group at Meta did an informal internal “anonymous” survey and when I looked at the data it collected from each account, I realized it included age (which it did it need). There was nobody else in this group of a hundred or so that is even close to my age.
@anderseknert Filled out an anonymous Parent's Evening survey and when I went to hand it in they wanted to put my name on it. That was not my definition of anonymous.
@anderseknert @falcennial
Indeed, although that has never stopped me.
Everyone should know that HR exists to minimise the corporate risk of exposure to employees. They do not exist for you. If it’s you vs someone senior and it’s not evidenced you will lose.
Going to HR is a risk you should know going in.
@anderseknert Ours are "anonymous" and then the division heads get in trouble if their divisions have low response rates. >.>
