I've been with the company for 15 years and I don't recognize HCSC anymore. We need to put the power back in our hands. They trot out these surveys to give us the illusion of involvement, to make us feel like we have a say, but it's just a way for them to tick a box. They collect the data, maybe present some
Bullsh-t sanitized summary, and then it's business as usual.
So, here's my call to action: boycott every single one of them from now on. Stop giving them the data they pretend to care about. Stop validating their hollow gestures. Your voice matters, yes, but not when it's being systematically ignored. Let's make it clear that we're tired of being asked for input that's never acted upon!!!

Honest question, and I am neither pro or against this but if so many people are sick of the C-suite why not unionize? I know it’s not a perfect system or solution im just curious.
My plan was to boycott filling out the survey. I kept getting daily email remainders to fill it out. I asked a coworker if they filled out the survey, to which they replied that they did. I then asked if they were getting email reminders to fill it out. My coworker was not. So they must be tracking who is and isn't filling out the survey?
Subsidiary employee here and we get similar surveys. Last year I filled it out and the one question was to rate how likely it is we’ll be working here in five years. I put a two and in the comments put that they keep outsourcing our work and nobody cares about their quality.
Last week our CEO send out an email and one of the opportunities listed was “utilizing external resources for low complexity tasks” aka more outsourcing.
Told ya
These surveys are corporate theater at its most manipulative. Executive leadership pretends they care, asks for honesty, and then turns around and uses that honesty as a we-pon. It’s not about improvement. It’s about control, deflection, and protecting their own image at any cost.
Low participation? Blame the supervisors.
Engagement dropped? Blame the supervisors.
Negative feedback? Must be the supervisors again.
Meanwhile, the people actually responsible for the dysfunction sit in their ivory towers, immune from consequence, insulated by layers of middle management they use as human shields. The hypocrisy is staggering. Leadership creates the chaos, drives the overwork, ignores the warnings, and then acts shocked when the results reflect exactly that.
And then comes the gaslighting. “We hear you. We value your input.” No, you don’t. You we-ponize it. Supervisors are told to rally the team, push the survey, inspire participation. And when the results expose the truth? Those same supervisors get dragged, shamed, and blamed like they orchestrated the collapse of morale themselves.
It’s not leadership. It’s cowardice disguised as accountability. And every time they run this cycle, they prove the problem isn’t at the bottom. It’s at the top, where the rot started in the first place.
But if you don't answer the exact same questions they asked four months ago....how on earth will they enhance the employee experience?
@an They aren't going to make any positive changes for employees anyway.
If you give low scores on Blue Pulse, they'll just stop having the survey for a couple of years. They will claim the survey is being upgraded. There will be minimal changes made, but for a couple of years they won't have to listen to the constant complaining. It won't be the first time they did this.
OR just write the worst sh-t possible and give em all low scores!
Sorry to break this for you, but even if the entire company put 1s for everything in that survey, executives or HR will not give a single damn. They will find ways to twist things around and say that we are the most ethical company in the world (wink wink). Executives only care about lining their pockets and everyone else is left to fend for themselves. This company was always kind of bad, but the greed of the executives is off the charts.
