Again questions are not anonymous
Why are that afraid to hear what the employees have to say?
Then they try to understand what the moral is so bad!

it wouldn't be anonymous anyway. Just like "they don't track you and can't read your text messages" from your phone.
As posts/questions are not mediated - how about things like this:
"What's up with that N—ria bribery scandal? All the Chinese media going bonkers on it."
"Do we make any specialty lubes for wind turbines yet?"
"Will there be a stockholder meeting this year? Is it public?"
"Why don't you call me on weekends anymore, DW (or any VP)?"
Sure - the name is attached, but maybe my supervisor will talk to me now.
@3bgr+19PkPaid
Agree with this completely. Some brown noser will still ask questions or public affairs will plant them. DW should know though, he’s lost in every way, except financially. He’ll take the money when the time comes and run with his tail between his legs. #coward
I think the best middle finger we can point is not to post any questions at all. What’s the point? Right? I think we are pretty close to this point and hope this blank sheet of questions will alert them to disenchantment on the ground.
@abv+19PkPaid Same in my organization, although many more posters are including their names now. Kinda strange how some do and some don’t.
Agree it is disappointing to at anonymous questions aren’t allowed. I didn’t see any disrespectful questions in the past when anonymous questions were allowed.
For fun join me in counting the number of times questions include phrases such as
- I want to thank you for holding this forum and coming to speak to us simple entitled employees oh holy one
- thank you for the transparency your grace
- it is so helpful for us to hear your wisdom your lordship
Find an unlocked computer and quickly submit your questions.
I quit going to these. It is a waste of time to listen to management. They lack the courage to answer truthfully. You will get some lame answer that really isn’t an answer at all. Best you can hope for is a good story that shows just how out of touch management is. Examples:
- I fired her, she left crying, and then she thanked me later
- sorry I am late my corporate jet had issues
- you are all overpaid and I am underpaid, the benchmarking says so (I picked who and how we compare to so what did you expect the answer to be?)
What’s the point of asking questions? There is always a bullsit excuse or a crafted answer from PR full of half truths and nonsense.
Leadership doesn’t feel accountability, nor they think they owe explanations.
The idea that it can’t be anonymous because some people would post nasty comments is a lame excuse. They could easily have a moderator to keep things clean. The problem is that for the self-anointed “gods” who rule EM anything that’s not softball and scripted is unacceptable. The gap between the precarious state of the company and the illusions of self-importance and infallibility of the management is simply absurd.
“Have the courage to put your name to your question”. Really ? Because we’re dealing with honest, responsible leaders, who don’t surround themselves with yes-men ? How about the courage to accept any questions, however inconvenient, if they are asked in polite way ? Isn’t that the hallmark of true leaders ? Besides, if the leadership is leading us to success and people trust it, why would any employee ask rude questions ?
Because retribution isn’t a thing, right?
Have the courage to put your name to your question. But yes, you do now need to ask it respectfully...just like you were talking to that person’s face.
They should just come read the comments on real yammer
Could have saved a lot of jobs for people who actually wanted to be there with that voluntary program ... another great business decision
There's a wall in Health somewhere I hear you can leave your written questions between the bricks.
Old-timey.
Anyone leaving the company want to ask why we are laying people off under the guise of the performance assessment versus doing the right thing and giving people a voluntary package?
The questions are never anonymous. They can go and see who posted via IP addresses. In fact never answer survey questions without expecting your name to be on the side of it
Fortunately, the forum we had with our VP at EMCC still allows anonymous questions. seems that culture do vary across organizations.
Because.....drum rolls...say with me, "WeAreExxonMobil".
