these surveys are linked to managers bonuses that's a fact!!! the more returns they have ,no matter how good or bad the higher they are thought of by higher ups. why do you think they are now forcing you to fill it in? last time a large lot of us didn't fill them in (48 out of about 50) this time they are in so much of a panic they are actually gonna supervise small groups of 4 or 5 at a time to make sure they are filled in. should be interesting

The last time we had one the manager walked round in wtll handing them out, the union rep walked two paces behind with a bin, he had quite a few at the end, even the DOM laughed about it.

Really, were you tortured? You can't be forced to fill them in.

its not compulsory to fill them in.
But the DOM will be questioned as to why they weren't filled in and someone will come down to question the workforce as well

Seems to me that I should be pleased that I am not at your depot. I have no real problem with my manager doing the job that they are paid to do and letting me do mine.
I certainly don't begrudge them a pay rise . I am glad that I don't have to do it.

On my letter on the Employee Survey 2014 which I received from the Business last week it said "From Wednesday 19th March it starts till Wednesday 9th April" and its a joint briefing at your Work-Time with Dom and Rep? Do we start again?

is this 100% true?
i can remember last year our manager insisting they were done in wtl,
he's a nice enough bloke but bet he couldn't manage to get me a shag in Amsterdam with the cash saved from lapsing.
wonder what would happen if a copy of this thread got pinned in every canteen?

Is that what is known as a Freudian slip?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
