Management asks for feedback constantly. Surveys, meetings, suggestion boxes, you name it. And nothing ever happens. The same problems exist year after year and the same complaints get raised again and again. But nobody listens or does anything. It's always business as usual. Which just means nothing gets fixed.

The best response in no response at all. Just don’t take the surveys, and don’t show up on those ridiculous Town Halls. Propaganda at its best. The survey questions are always slanted toward your immediate leadership team so as to deflect any negative comments you have about the officers and higher ups. They know people are typically less-likely to trash their local leadership teams and so skate by on association with your local management.
Please understand that they do not care what you think, feel, or are concerned about. It is all a corporate subterfuge to make themselves look better for Wall Street and other entities.
They do not care about you, or me, or anyone else, in the least.
Once you understand this, you can either make peace with it or get out of the nonsense at AT&T.
So your taking a poll to see if other groups get a lot of polls. They trained you good.
Are you new here?
you're just now realizing this after how many years of them doing this same act????
You misunderstand the purpose of the surveys and suggestions. They are a measure of how close you are to breaking and resigning without severance. Every complaint, every scathing reply, is counted as a positive outcome metric. They want you miserable enough to leave on your own, but not quite miserable enough to go postal. The surveys are a gauge of where they are on that continuum.
Yeah I senior leadership laid out the priorities years ago:
stockholders, customers, employees. Notice where you rank. Plan accordingly.
They dont give a cr-p they are checking a box. All people in leadership are completly incompatent.
This company is a joke. The entire C suite is lining their pockets while the ship goes down. None of the C-Suite is an expert or even competent in their field. For example, our CTO is a political science major. Fu--ing joke
It’s not just you
Nothing changes. Have heard many VPs talk about reducing the ridiculous number of meetings we have here along with our PowerPoint obsession that only a he---n addict could relate to, but nothing changes.
Just sat through an hourlong spiel on planning and the insane number of people who seem to do nothing but planning, yet we have still been inundated with rush jobs and “pivots” that had no reason to be crazy scrambles. The more these people talk, the more I tune out.
