My team is very small.
My manager, and three of us minions. He said that in order to see the result of Engagement Pulse survey, at least three people need to submit.
I always submitted it each quarter, but since he's a very bossy, incompetent, toxic manager, and never changes his toxic style whatever the responses were. So this time, I decided not to submit. But he is saying to us all that there is only one person who has not submitted yet. I heard somewhere that Engagement Pulse is anonymous, but would he know that I have not yet submitted?

Yes he would and will know who has not submitted just by writing from others
I'm a manager and I can't see how each person responded. But yes, in order to get results, at least 3 need to respond. And since we can't see who answered, we don't know who we need to nudge to complete it.
what if mgr asks for screenshot to prove that you did the survey?
As a leader - I can see the number of people that have submitted. The surveys are open for 14 days. If my team of 6 all submit the day I open the survey, i get the results that day. If 5/6 submit total - I will get results on day 15. If I only have 2 submit it will not get results. The minimum is 3 people to submit feedback. I cannot see who it was - however if a team as small as 3, most likely peers would say they had submitted and process of elimination.
Tool tells you how many received and responded not who
He's lying, my manager uses the same tactic, it's actually brilliant, if you stop and think about it for a minute. If course it's possible that he isn't, but the survey is supposed to be anonymous/confidential, and he should buzz off. Stop worrying, don't submit anything, if he asks you directly, tell him you did (see, you can lie, too).
Everything is dandy.
Cisco is the #1 company in the world.
I love Cisco more than I.
I can't live without Cisco.
Then I click on submit. I eat my dinner, then sh-g my gf for 3hrs.
I always take pulse, but choose the neutral answer for every question.
I just blow smoke on those things and say all is perfect. Otherwise you just get an upset manager, drama, and more work for all. Beatings until morale improves.
It's probably unlikely. If he knew someone in the team space product team... maybe? If he got real uppity about it and asked around there might be a data engineer that could give him that info.
But the reports on engagement pulse that are easy to access only show if managers launched the report, and if teams in a leader's org launched. It doesn't appear that it specifies which people launched it.
Best of luck with your no launch plan. You're not the only one in Cisco that is dealing with poor management.
sounds like the 1st level manager on ASIC supply chain team.
