HR has been pushing their latest employee satisfaction survey hard. I've been getting at least two email reminders a day all week. Should I take this survey? I always thought these were pointless but HR has never been so persistent before. Maybe they're truly looking for ideas to improve things? ...Am I being naive?

Complete the survey and be diplomatic in your responses. At least then the reminders will stop.

Don’t want to do it? Set a rule in your email to auto-forward them to a folder and mark as read.

I am always of the opinion to recommend taking the survey. Will it change much, probably not. Out leadership are cowards and won’t rock the boat 90% of the time out of their own safety. The rest are just yes people to JS. If this offends you, you are probably part of the issue.
The reality is if you don’t take it you shouldn’t be able to complain.
The poor results need to be thrown in their faces over and over again. It because they won’t fix it but because they need to be reminded of how far this company has fallen in an attempt to remind them that they are failing their people.

I would do it. At least you can say you tried. Best case the use your feedback.

It's probably the only opportunity to influence anything at the company, even if it likely won't be taken seriously. You might as well try, though don't say anything that might make you a target for layoffs.

From my previous experience, the feedback they get on the surveys just makes the management team defensive and double down so either don’t take the survey and wait for it to expire or lie on the survey to get by because honesty either won’t get you anything or will get you in trouble

No don't fill it out ever, it's a way for them to fire you, you don't know if it's really if they can find your identity.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
