Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Surveys - Complete or Delete Them?

Every couple of months, leadership requests staff to complete various surveys. Note: They are ‘confidential’, but NOT ‘anonymous’.

Do you recommend existing staff complete the surveys or delete them? If you complete them & it’s not what they want to hear (negative but honest feedback), afraid I could be targeted. If you don’t complete it, they might can generate a report to show non participating staff & target you in other ways.

Any suggestions or insight?

Be strong and stand up for our members! In your family there is someone suffering from a health issue. If you have poor leadership call them out!

You will find another job! And you will sleep better knowing you stood up for that famy member.

A functioning team-try a dysfunctional team. Not getting paid 7 or 8 figs like a sports "team"–we're just employees. Give them the least, do the least, and bail

It's not well known but the budget an organization and each manager is allotted for RRP and merits for MAP are driven by the survey results. It's assumed - incorrectly - that high employee engagement means a high functioning team. In reality you're punished with low or no merit/RRP if your manager scores on the low end for your organization. Also no one ever reads the comments. The words are aggregated into a word cloud and that is ALL anyone sees. If you want any kind of merit just chose positive responses for everything no matter what. Then just write the same words over and over filling up the comments and THAT will be on the word cloud. Something like toxic work environment 1,000 times.

You have a job. Be very very grateful. Maybe perhaps potentially someday, your picture will be up on that corporate wall smiling for another us empire lackee award

We give them all excellent ratings. They know who's who, and who's due, etc...on those lol...anomymous surveys. It's good to be a corporate buck dancer, you know your place and smile for that boss lady as they destroy your soul

I fill out surveys all 5 star. They are confidential but not anonymous.

If you really want to be laid off, give all 1 stars and say you hate working for the company. You will be gone for sure.

"Complete the survey and give positive responses. No sense in giving negative response. You still have a job so be grateful."

You're NOT getting paid as a consultant–those folks get paid thousands a day to give their opinions etc....who in their right mind would do any "survey", give "honest" feedbacks, "exit interview", and-or give real feedback for free unless they have a cognitive problem? Say no to the bs surveys tell them nothing- like they treat their slaves

Either way, you are going to have endless meetings about how everyone can improve that management really doesn’t want to hear. Give honest feedback but do it based on facts, not opinions.

" If there are low scores some mgrs can get real nasty at finding out who for retribution. Nothing you are interested in as an employee ( things that cost money) will change from low scores. .."

Why are the employee managers getting real nasty? They're just simp employees...they are not owners, partners, trustees, board of directors...they are simply cuck, buck dancing employees who got to be "manager" bc they brown nosed alot and we're yes men. Why do those simp employees care so much? They are just lackeys and easily replaceable with a 100 other id–ts waiting to do the corporation's dirty work

Higher mgmt hounds lower levels to get participation. They track how many of each group have completed. They are not interested in real feedback. Your group is punished for scoring low and now you have items to address. Some mgrs if they can, will tell the staff to just score high cause there is no benefit to scoring low. If there iare low scores some mgrs can get real nasty at finding out who for retribution. Nothing you are interested in as an employee ( things that cost money) will change from low scores. Score high and move on.

Usually give them super high marks because why help them if I'm not getting paid as a consultant. If they want consulting, let them pay for it!! Same goes for those bs "exit" interviews–do NOT go, or say how much the place is awesome sauce, why give them ANYTHING fruitful, since they want "free" advice–give them free nonsense. US empire=Cesspool

I always give honest feedback and it’s usually negative. I keep it fact based too so if it does come back, it’ll be factual and not opinionated. UHG swears they won’t retaliate and I make sure I take pictures of what I submitted and any proof in the event that a retaliation lawsuit presents itself.

And even if it’s designed to eliminate people, being fired from a job that has aged me and done terrors on my mental health doesn’t seem like a terrible situation. I’m only along for the ride at this point.

Complete them marking excellent for everything. Managaement couldn't be doing a better job.

If management won't make it anonymous tell them what they want to hear.
