Anyone else hearing the results of this year’s Best Team Survey are bleak? My manager alluded to it and was seemingly surprised. How can that come as a shock? Spoiler Alert: Target is not the retailer it was even 6 months ago.

Our department tracked the trending of the scores over the last five years, and every single attribute (recognition, growth, etc.) has trended downward, in some cases rather severely (growth was at 59% this year). They actually took the downward trends as a sign of pride, saying "well at least our scores aren't as bad as the rest of the company". :\
Our broader part of the organization wrote off the bad results, talked about the 4 strengths or whatever, and issued cookies bought at Costco looool. Says it all.
As a team we use to give all high marks to avoid action sessions. Bad “leaders” will never be fired or replaced based on the survey. HR is not there to help you. They are there to run cover for inept “leaders”.
The worst part is my leader only allows us to discuss “things we can control and make a plan to address” when we go over the results so there’s going to be nothing to discuss. All the problems are at the C-suite and board level
Also heard about grim results from my leader. Wonder if the board will do anything about it or not.
Leaders being surprised it's bad is exactly the issue. Out of touch, too many coffee chats, delusional.
Surprised the results were bleak, I got promoted two weeks ago lol
