Thread regarding Ally Financial Inc. layoffs

Anyone NOT taking the employee engagement survey? If so what's your reasoning?

I don't plan to. I feel like I can't be honest.

@OP That engagement survey has always been a tool in Treasury to dish out a constant barrage of microaggressions for months post survey. Such a nasty group. I didn't even open it this year because I no longer care. Today they were discussing laying me off this coming Friday. HR even prepped my exit package. I've kept receipts over the years. After all, Ally has a well documented history in the courts, out of all places, of systemic discrimination and employee abuse.

@OP don't take that bs survey. It does nothing, means nothing, and leads to nothing. It's like when they ask you to donate at the grocery store so they can write it off in their taxes. Ally takes the results and reports them so media companies they pay to play can write articles about how it's a great place to work. It's a stagnant bank with no growth and no vision and TD Mike is leading it straight into the ground with Sathish deep in his crack.

@13f as a previous director at ally. I'll tell you. We have a dashboard. If you take the survey. We know who you are. And I'll add it's why the leadership makes us have the after survey meetings to discuss the results. We know. Here are 2 take aways. ANY questions on leadership or manager = your manager ONLY. Ally will only scapegoat the 1 up. So gl with getting real results on "leadership " 4 star or less is negative to your boss. I've been in the meetings .. trust me. They give the impression of 5 choices the middle being n/a. Ally will score anything less than absolutely approve as being a mark.
My advice after more than a decade there.. DO NOT TAKE THE SURVEY!

In my department, quite a few solid employees have recently left the team — company AND banking altogether. I’ve noticed directors who typically don’t give a sh-t seem to be grasping at straws to make us feel a sense of togetherness and I know it’s all for the sake of the survey. I just score numbers and give very short responses so I can’t be pointed out. I agree with the previous commenter - if you’re unhappy just try to get out like so many people are. The toxicity is from the top and the leaders do not care about you.

Theres a reason these surveys say not to forward the link - they know who you are. If you wouldn't give the feedback to the leaders face, dont fill out the survey. And don't think anyone cares about your feedback, because they dont. I used to think Ally was the exception, but its not - at least not anymore. If your situation is untenable, move on. Otherwise keep your mouth shut and save your money.

They say it's anonymous. But they track who on each team completes it and the managers get scored. Last year my manager scored really low and she freaked out. They believed they scored low because one or two people didn't like them and purposely tanked the survey and didn't change anything. I believe they thought I was one of them and took it out on me. I gave them a fair rating and honestly was kinda nice.

So my advice is just be honest. It won't track to you but if the manager scored low they might take it out on people they believed scored them low.
