Has anything negative ever happened to you from being honest in an employee experience survey? For example, they are asking me if my job is challenging and interesting. Or if I like my team. My answers are not fully positive But I don’t want to say that and risk making the RIF list 💀

At a huge org like a big 4 you can take any claims of “confidential answers” at face value. The people doing RIFs probably don’t even talk to the survey team in your HR org. At a boutique I wouldn’t trust anything is a secret

I have always been honest, and there were no repercussions; it was a different climate even a year ago though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Once, about a decade ago, all people below manager in my region got called into a workshop to figure out why we had "lower" comparative scores on things like what you're describing - I took the opportunity to point out some of my answers were accurate and contributed to what they called a low score, but the real issue was the assumption behind the question, and not the response. For example, there was a question to the effect of "I've been given opportunities from other practices/teams." Yes/No. I said no, which they considered a negative, but I was a specialist on a specialist team - the question assumed I wanted or needed to work on other team's/practice's projects, but I didn't.

I received a personalized interview from talent in regards to my anonymous responses to a survey. They lie unfortunately.

Depends on company size. For smaller firms, execs can definitely filter on a few fields and get a pretty good idea of who said what…

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

A coworker sharing their screen accidentally screencasted a job application they were filling out. It was up for long enough I saw some of what they were saying they did; I did that work or someone else did, so I’m annoyed they’re lying but honestly hope they find a new job that makes them happy. Our bosses were on the call btw.

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.
