Is anyone else tired of “employee engagement”? - Lemmy.world

I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.

I went HAM on my most recent one. They’re anonymous but I’m sure my direct manager can tell my writing style. But the place I work for has been in refusing to do any hiring including backfills so now I’m a team of 1 doing what 7 people used to do and I let them know I’m not pleased.

You hold the bargaining power of 7 people. You can force changes just by waving the "I can quit anytime" card around

This is bad advice. Do this and your name will go on the Problem List. Now, if you don’t care about getting laid off, go nuts.

The guy is already giving honest feedback on "anonymous" surveys... He's probably on that list. At least he could try to improve his situation, and look for a new job at the same time since it's clear they don't respect his efforts.
