I was feeling a little full of myself when doing a quarterly- QUARTERLY!- Employee Survey for a former employer. They were printed, and ran four pages, both sides. The place was complete ratfuck and I had one foot out the door anyway, then they started the EES program. I wrote only one comment: "Qwerty Corp will always do the right thing for the customer, but only after trying every other conceivable option first." I had a meeting with the Ops manager a couple of weeks later, and he fed that line back to me. I acted like I'd never heard it before and laughed.
Next quarter, we were admonished NOT to do the survey in the company of other employees, so the worst of us malcontents got together and made sure we all gave exactly the same answers. We noticed a barcode on the surveys, and compared them. They were all individual. I simply quit completing them after that.
