A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

But they told me the survey was anonymous!

My partner took an "anonymous" survey at work once.

When the results came out, it categorised the results. Site, m/f/o, role.

Turns out that there was only one female engineer at her site... So everybody knew she was annoyed about some specific things.

I love those.

I filled one out onetime and one of my teammates told us it's really anonymous.

So I bet him $100 dollars that I could prove it wasn't.

we filled them out and a couple days later I printed off his survey and taped it to his monitor.

he was pissed. I told him he could keep the $100 because the look on his face was worth it.

I had access to the drive where all the reports spit out. in the reports were the IPs of the submitters. I knew his IP and just grepped it. I'm sure leadership does the same thing.
