Managers have already written off this year's results due to the reshape. So why fill it out?

Before I retired, I NEVER filled it out, and convinced most of my coworkers to do the same. They say it is anonymous, but they can tell how many from each location did and didn't. 100% compliance would be a win for the management, and they were upset when it didn't go their way, even to the point of making everyone sign a form confirming their participation. Signed the form anyway, and when the results came back, they found that even though everyone signed, they did not complete it. The main reason we decided to do this is, a team from the company came to address some of the concerns, and they had a good laugh at some things, causing some to walk out of the meeting, and nothing EVER changed. What a waste of time, money, and company resources.
It is NOT anonymous
Complete it because you are indentured servants and you shall comply.
Why even have a question about job security ......?
It is the most useless process in industry, I do not know how it is marketed to companies.
The results do not result any change at all except highlighting employees’ own negative thoughts of what they are not happy about.
When it is apparent who made certain comments it may be harmful to the person. Just useless, nothing positive comes out of it anyway, probably that was not the intent in the first place
Fill it out. Say some'n' nice or don't say nutt'n' at all. Keep the boss off your a-s. Avoid the enhanced interrogations staged as endless postmortems where the lifers and Kool Aid Kids just can't fathom the obvious. Stay off management's blacklist of malcontents permanently slated for sh---y raises and an even more hostile work environment.
Then bide your time and go find a job at a not-fu---d-up company.
We are robots!
Why, indeed! Seems like EVERY year there's an excuse to write off the results: reorganization, layoffs, severance, pay freezes, bonus reductions, poor margins, COVID, unpopular leadership decisions. Why even have it? During the last two years our manager had a post-mortem meeting about the sh---y results he got. We went through discussions and flipboard breakout sessions. Ya know what changed? Nothing
Let's be honest... if you work in a small group, how anonymous is it really? I gave up on Shell being serious about the SPS a few years back after they reported that they were going to focus on those areas where they were already meeting employee expectations. That's when I wondered what's the point. Anymore, I take the survey to skew the results. It's obvious Shell doesn't take it seriously, and I won't be an employee much longer anyway. So, when Shell reports the results and when you see that asterisk next to all the questions designating "high variability", yeah, that's me!
When I was filling it out this year, I noticed the CRM number in the tab. I wonder if it’s no longer anonymous. They may say it’s anonymous but you never know.
