MODERATORS
My team is small and we feel fairly comfortable voicing our opinions, so yeah when said anonymous comments are visible we can generally guess who said it.
My district office put out an annual "anonymous" survey. They just wanted location/department. I pointed out that my location had about 15 people and most departments had 1 to 2 people. Far from anonymous. They just shrugged and said to fill it out. I filled out that annual report with the most nothing, saccharine bullshit for about a decade.
NGL, I would've likely tried to impersonate at least one of said colleagues in tone, subject, etc. If only to waste those corpo fucksticks' time & effort. Not my circus, not my monkey, but here's a wrench. 🤣🤌🏼
I know this is kinda dumb, but feed your comments to some free AI tool and ask it to change the tone to be more neutral. Totally phone it in lol.
So I’ve been on the delivering end of these anonymous surveys and also seen the reports. If done correctly through a 3rd party firm, they are anonymous.
All a manager will see is the total score and the comments. Also, if a manager’s team usually has less than 7-10 replies, their score and answers get rolled up to the next level manager.
The issue that comes in with the comments is the wirting style or the content. If it’s something you regularly bitch about and put it verbatim on the survey, of course they’re gonna know it’s you, or if you use specific examples that can easily be tied to you.
The names and ratings are indeed abstracted and rolled up, but if you want to get your concerns across and not have them tie to you, be a more more general and change up your writing style.
I can second this as an organizational psychologist. They are almost always anonymous, the ones that aren't are considered exceptional poor practice.
I know better than to shit-talk with my real email address on there
What a coincidence. I only shit talk while proffering your email address.
The trick is to have only one person answer an anonymous review at a time and only ask the next person after the first one handed in theirs.
My manager loved the shitty review I gave last year, because I bitched about workload/work life balance/manpower issues we had, and those are topics he commiserates with us on regularly. Upper management is lucky to find their asshole with a map, flashlight and guide, so many people have to break out the crayons before they stop eating and listen.
you might have used an expression that you use all the time in conversation and didn't recognize that.
hello darkness my old friend...
