    ROTF! We have so many surveys where I work, I should just slip in this
    question amongst the others. :-)

    IIRC, this was sent to me by one of my ex-colleagues where I used to
    work... It was around the time when they had just upgraded the canteen
    - and the staff (over 3000 of them) were asked to "just take 5 minutes"
    to fill in a 20 page "survey" just to give mangement a pat on the back
    for doing so much to keep the staff happy 🙂

    No, that's normal. Not something I miss from the "corporate world", either.
    Just take this survey, your answers are confidential and will be tabulated
    and we'll tell you the results at the next corporate meeting. Of course the
    results were always favourable - rah rah and all that [censored] 😉

    Oh, that just happened this week. So that's what they meant by making
    education more businesslike?

    The last survey I remember, they wanted to know if it was a great place to
    work. The questions were biased toward the company and they asked things
    like if you felt you could take your concerns to your supervisor and whether
    or not you trusted your supervisor. Who in their right mind would say they
    didn't trust their supervisor even if they didn't? I, for one, didn't
    believe in any way shape or form this was confidential. I went to HR once
    to make a complaint, was told it was confidential, and was shortly
    thereafter called into my managers office to ask why I'd gone to HR rather
    than coming to her. Apparently the first thing HR did was call the manager
    to tell her I'd lodged a complaint about my supervisor. I don't trust
    anyone in "corporate America" with good reason.

    I don't blame you.... our surveys were supposed to be anonymous, but
    some people typed them because they thought their handwriting would be
    recognized.
