So the company encourages us to complete surveys and advise that they are anonymous So we as employees believe them and complete the surveys. Right?
The results came in and leadership is crying. Managers beg their staff to provide feedback that they can take to their leadership. Feedback was provided.
We were rewarded with retaliation. All of my teammates that were vocal providing their feedback with the manager all received very negative comments on their yearly reviews. Negative comments on your yearly performance review will surely sc--w you out of your normal 1% merit pay.
The lesson here is never provide your honest opinion on the yearly surveys or honest feedback to your manager.
