The store manager left a stack of paper surveys in the breakroom, asking us to fill one out during our break, dropping it in a box, so he can learn what is and is not working in the store. I think it is a nice idea and I like he is willing to take our feedback. However, I'm not sure he thought this through all of the way. If you had this opportunity, what would you put on the survey?

Every single time a job has asked me for feedback I have been brutally honest. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing but I figure they cannot improve if I dont' give them the good the bad, and the ugly. I always give them the raw uncut truth for better or for worse.

If I thought the person was going to read them in good faith and take constructive action, sure, I'd probably make some suggestions. But I'm always wary of surveys like that, sometimes I think management is essentially using the survey to sniff out problems. And I wouldn't want to say anything too critical, just to avoid any problems.

It depends on what he's hoping to read and or accomplish.

I think this is a bad idea, because if the staff love playing the blame game with their co-workers because they don’t like them they could bully them out of a job and I think that’s totally cruel and un justifiably unfair very bad for business. If you want surveys make sure it’s for the right reasons. Investigating your people inappropriately in this manner is unfair get out on the floor and manage your own store the proper way. Trusting some co workers to do their dirty work is inadequate. I find that setting up innocent hard working people that others are jealous of.

Be honest but rather than venting try to give constructive feedback and maybe even suggestions

Fidelity Investments I joined FIL on 08th August 2022 and hence was eligible for appraisal but even after a good feedback, I was told that there is no increment in salary as well as bonus because of "Too Soon To Decide" rating. And this is being followed not just in our team but in whole FIL. This is the first time I am hearing such kind of thing and didn't found any thing like this on "HR Hub". So, if anyone of you know about this or have received similar gyan from Manager, please share your experience. Fidelity In
