HAVE YOUR SAY surveys

Post by Carnoustie »

OK it's that pointless-waste-of-ink time of year again, when we have to fill out a stupid questionaire.

Is it just me or has anyone ever seen anything change at their office as a direct result of a comment made on a HYS survey ? And what's this bullshit that management give us about all our forms being strictly confidential and anonoymous ?
If that's true, then why do they ask for info about age, gender, racial backgound, and whether we're full-time or part-time ? Most people in my office think we should falsify our personal details so that the answers we give cannot be traced back to any individual :Very Happy :dance

Any thoughts ?

For some reason i've only done a few in about 10 yrs,and yes just pointless.
But tbh,i can't rem what the questions were like it was that long ago since i done 1.
But i do rem it being a waste of time,naff all changes.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It is really good to get support from outside my own office on this issue ! I made some strong criticisms of managers last time, without naming them individually, and my comments were then mysteriously absent from the ones displayed once the results came back. If I had kicked up a fuss and asked 'where are my comments, then?' I would then have revealed to the screws just who had made the comments that upset them so much :roll: , so the whole thing is a piss-take if you ask me :mad


Postman, almost all the questions are really carefully-worded statements, with which you have to consider whether you
a) STRONGLY AGREE
b) AGREE
c) NEITHER AGREE NOR DISAGREE
d) DISAGREE
e) STRONGLY DISAGREE or
f) DON'T KNOW / COULDN'T GIVE A TOSS

What they should have, for each question, is a space to explain why you gave the answer you gave. This is what I would put if they did ....

I understand how my bonus scheme works Agree. I get feck all, no matter what the workload
I can freely approach my line manager and discuss issues that impact upon my working life
Agree. But he still wont let me have that Comp day I want
My line manager says well done when it is deserved :funneh WHAT PLANET ARE YOU PEOPLE ON ??
In my workplace, people are treated fairly Disagree. We never get taken to the zoo or Alton Towers :dance
Is your contract permanent or temporary ? You'd best ask Allan Leighton
Do you work full-time or part-time Full-time for now, but see answer to previous question
Do you consider yourself to have a disability ? YES, MY LINE MANAGER :crazy:
