I've had company surveys in the past. I gave the answers I knew they wanted. It wasn't hard to figure out, great company, great management, great training, etc. etc.

But the owners are right wingers to whom I'm nothing but a number on a spreadsheet. I don't doubt they've dealt plenty of lies to customers and employees. If I'm expected to cover up some kind of wrongdoing, that would be one thing. Embellishing a company survey is no big deal to me.

I work for a really big company that does employee surveys every 2-3 years. Previously, the surveys were done on paper, unsigned. When I started there, we got an postage-paid envelope to mail them back to the independent survey company. Then they had a box for us to drop them in. But always, there was no way to track the surveys.

Last year, they did it online. "Don't worry, there's no way for us to track you. The survey link and your passcode will be emailed to you directly from XYZ Inc." Right. The link and passcode came in my email as promised. My corporate email.

what a shitty thing to do to employees, but that seems to be the world now. I guess I would open the file and look at the questions (or find out what the penalties/consequences for not doing it are) and go from there.

the corporate version of "do I look fat in this outfit?"

honest answers
they're looking at the employees--their "yes men" and that includes who did & didn't fall in line and take the survey.

i'd say that if you want the job/need the job and want to keep things happy go ahead and take the survey and make sure you answer it the way you are expected to.

look at it this way--it's like when your girlfriend's mom had her hair done at the beauty parlor--in a new style.
she may have looked freakin weird but you told her you either liked her hair or that it looked nice.
you were nice. you were polite.

so for your survey answers, don't think of them as lying.
think of your answers as being polite.

and then let it go....
