Many big companies ask people to rate their managers.
Verizon is still old school where feedback flows one way only. We have a new toxic manager and everyone on the team is not liking that person.
Why our leaders are not ready to listen to the feedback from their teams?

The majority of managers are pitiful is the primary reason. Worry about the things you can impact. Items such as this only get you side tracked and make yourself miserable thinking about how you want to rate. Just perform your job, keep your head down, and stretch out your the time you work at VZ until your number comes up and while you are thinking they are patting you on the back for a job well done, you will suddenly realize that was no pat, but a push out the door.
When I worked for a different telephone, they got bad survey results on employee satisfaction so executives told us in a meeting that the place were really unsatisfied so it was obvious they needed to hire more managers over them. The beatings will continue until morale iimproves.
It’s not in the company’s culture. VZ is top down driven, in such a culture, those with authority in decision making don’t want to constantly be challenged by their subordinates. Put another way, they don’t want to have the burden of “pleasing” and “negotiating” with subordinates.

Name one manager you ever saw directly effected by a Pulse survey.
We'll wait.
Why do you think Verizon cares about your opinion?! Just do your work and take your paycheck. It's called work for a reason.
Theyve been reported anonymously and directly. Nothing changed, minor shift but nothing done.
That is what the pulse survey is for. Leadership takes the feedback and treats it just as a 360 performance review, at least for all the teams I have managed since the Pulse came out.
Many many many years ago, they did have 360 reviews. They didn't last long. Wonder why? lol
I do not think anyone cares about pulse surveys. Even the leaders do not take it seriously
Toxic managers are accepted because they want to drive people out. It’s all part of the plan.
What do you think the pulse survey is?
Isn’t that what the great pulse survey was for?
