Can't wait to fill this survey out tomorrow!!!! The one positive thing about this company is changing for the worse in September. Normally I would only ding them on the flexibility question, but I am going to give the lowest on every question.

The last thing your Director or VP (and up) care about is your mental and physical health. Do the survey, be honest and let them have it. I don’t care if it’s anonymous, they deserve to hear how their decisions have such negative impacts on people.

@tw Use AI to tell it what you want to say and ask for a character limit; just don't use internal Copilot.

@tr - ya! challenge accepted! I think it was like 500 - 600 words before. Can't wait to maximize my word choice for the harshest commentary. Senior Leadership has no back bone to "tell it like it is". I wish it was my job to review the survey comments.

I bet the comment section this time would be limited to 100 characters or something insane like that. In the past I've had to limit my comments because there wasn't enough space. Either way, challenge accepted.

Who cares if it is anonymous? Are you really scared to have an opinion, or for a manager/director/VP know you aren’t happy?

Be truthful. If you’re mad, let them know you are mad. The reason we have these changes constantly thrust upon us is because not enough people speak up. Use your voice. If they are going to fire you for expressing an opinion when they ask for your opinion, so be it

I'm going to pretend to be satisfied like a good g-y because I'm not convinced it's anonymous

Does Fidelity even have a pulse at this point?

Let them cover it up. Apathy is never a good solution. Take the survey. We know nothing changes but its fun to see them do mental gymnastics. Who knows, if the results are really terrible, we will see some change.

@aq the problem is the toxic management gaslights and says RTO is going to improve everything just because Abby wants it. This is how empires fail when leadership fails to adapt and they forget who does the work. You ask why bother? Because it’s better than doing nothing.

Why bother? They'll conveniently blame every complaint about toxic middle management on people being upset about the RTO, which saves them from addressing the actual problem. Then comes the predictable "we hear you" email—the corporate equivalent of pressing snooze—followed by exactly zero meaningful change.
