Boycott The Survey

[TooTechie]

Maybe they are interested in what we think. Maybe it will effect change.

...and maybe it's none of their business.

Every year I take their survey and every year things seem to get worse. At least I get paid well to waste their time.

 

[O/C]

If anybody in my center refused to take the survey, it will be taken for them. Back in the days of the ERI, we had 125% participation one year.

Does not being asked to take the survey count as a boycott?

Click on female, bisexual with 50 plus years of service, oh and age between 25 and 30. That should keep them busy.

Musta been in Chicago where the saying was "vote early, and vote often!"

Finally took the survey today. I was offended that transgender wasn't an option. On a completely separate note, I may need a few months off. I need to have a "surgery".

I have read that facebook has something like 57 choices for gender.... This is a top reason I am not on facebook.

Are you unable to choose?

You haven't been here very long, have you?

It's that time of year that they try to get us to complete the annual Employee Engagement survey. A buddy pointed out that this year one of the first questions is "What is your sexual orientation?"

The surveys are supposedly anonymous, however they're connected to our supervisors and they ask about years of service, etc so it wouldn't take much to figure out who answered what. That being said...that question is completely irrelevant and invasive.

I encourage you to join me in boycotting their dumb invasive survey.

I took it and told them in the survey that I was bisexual. I'm not but I sure thought it was funny. Then I told all my boys and we got a good laugh out of it. I also snapped a pick and sent it out to my wife a Ba or two and the boys. It was hilarious

I don't see where it is any of their business.

I still live in a world with Male or Female. LOL

It isn't. I declined to answer. I also declined to answer the question about my race. Some numb nut in Atlanta convinced a person with enough authority to give it a green light, it was a good idea.

I guarantee you, they're following this thread. And to them I say, "The hell were you thinking?" That question has ACLU written all over it.

Bet it won't be there next year.

Another question, are we required to take the survey, can we refuse to take it?

The survey is optional.

You can refuse. It's optional if you want to take it. If you dont take it you can't show your displeasure.

 

[joeboodog]

It's a good way to vent but don't expect anything to change.

So, you figure Teamcare is going to cover this "surgery"? lol.

What's wrong with you people? Ever hear of demographics? The statistical data of a population? Pretty routinely asked in surveys. Could it possibly be why they ask sexual orientation? Nah.
As far as wanting us employees to participate in the survey, yet not caring what your responses are...you seem to be putting the cart in front of the horse. They need to get participation in order for the survey to "count", so yeah, they want participation first. The results are what they are, but pointless if no one participates.
Of course this just seems natural to me, as I am not some conspiracy theorist.
Work, do my job, take the survey or not, donate to UW or not, whatever.
It takes all kinds, I suppose.
