Thread regarding Bank of America layoffs

Yeah, I'm doing the survey and I'm going to list my complaints in detail. Will it matter? Not one bit. They're still going to go on and on about how this is the best place to work.🙄
But hey, it's a job. It pays the bills.

Current coworker was telling me his old dept got worse ratings than the year before one time and the svp came to have a meeting with them about their opinions being wrong

@4mxj+1meJy7N3 - clever! Spot on.

Read today's Blondie comic strip (4/24).

I always complete employee surveys, but it can be maddening to see how they respond to them. For example, if you were to give the company low ratings on diversity questions the execs response is not some kind of deep reflection on what they might be doing wrong. No, instead they torture the plebes with neverending canned diversity training, as if we are the problem. By and large the responses to the basic questions will be ignored, turned around on us, or spun to fit their narrative, so the comments fields are where we can make our mark.

BOYCOTT THE STEAMTOWN MALL! 🤣🤣🤣

The only result I remember seeing from last year's survey was some strange comparison to the 2019 survey. They only seem to care about how many people take the survey not what we say in it. I'm definitely skipping it this year

Do not be honest on the survey. Lie and say everything is great. Nothing done on a work computer is anonymous. BAC monitors every keystroke and watches screens in real time. HR will make sure the negative folks are laid off sooner rather than later.

Managers will now be given a rating based on survey results.

I try to find out which ones are directly related to my manager. Make sure those are rated fairly (I like my manager anyway) . Fo scorched earth on everything else. First line in comments: "These comments are directed to senior management".

Will they listen? No. But it feels good to share.

Hey Brian - you want us to cut expenses?

Get rid of your useless survey and stop wasting our time.

There's an OpEx idea that will save you a sh*t ton right there!

You're welcome.

I only do it because I like my manager and he gets ding'ed if we don't have 100% participation. (we have a small team, less than 7, so they know)

I am still waiting for them to fix the things we complained about 5 years ago!

Like everything, they only do it (and manipulate the figures) for the PR they can generate. ("Best Place to Work" - my azz!!)

And what does a survey (that they've essentially made compulsory) tell anyone? They do not even offer "Work from Home" as a choice. Waste of our time. They already know how we feel and what we want: More pay, bigger bonus tied to OUR individual performance (not the rest of the company), work from home, flexible hours, competitive medical benefits that don't cost an arm or a leg, a good (and better) manager. There's your damn survey tyvm.

You're right about them always twisting the results to produce the narrative they want to push.

I'll still do it this year but will mark everything the lowest possible. Even if they won't acknowledge it publicly, they'll know people in our organization are not happy.

The survey is pointless. Basically it’s for them to gather information not to provide actual constructive change. If you give bad feed back those questions get swept under the rug and only the “improvements” get advertised. This isn’t productive but just a method to propagandize a story.
