The Week's Top 10 Employee Survey Comments
The end of the year is a perfect time to reflect on the best and the worst that our humanity has to offer. Below is a collection of actual comments captured in employee engagement surveys this week. As always, these are unedited.
- Wait - ''I feel I can share my opinions openly with my manager without fear of reprisal." ???Are you JOKING? I can't ask a question without being made to feel like a fool! Give me a break. I don't have enough time in the day or space in this box to talk about this BUM.
- I find that the organization promotes unity and family. The organization has also recently taken action to promote better health.
- Management really needs to get control of the people that are not working like they should (if they like it or not)....just do your job and stop wasting so much time socializing thoughout the office.
- Too strict on tardiness and stuff in hard times when there are no raises.
- Long tenured employees appear to experience a significant drop in self-esteem which, eventually, levels off to a sort of acceptance of their situation and treatment.
- My Manager is immature, spiteful if she's upset with you, holds a grudge at times and will not speak, shows favortism, lacks accounting skills and principals, lacks professional management skills.
- With the recession in full effect, pay is no longer the main complaint of the employees.
- Do not treat employees as replacable cogs. While ineffective employees must be addressed, causing unneeded uncertainty just to 'shake things up' is unproductive.
- We have great benefits which I am thankful for.
- Bring back some of our lost benefits (number 9 and 10 are two employees from the same company)
Happy New Year! Raise a glass to 2012. And make the coming year a 'Best Ever' for your workplace culture.
