workaday review

Okay the update from the meeting yesterday was SO FUNNY. This is absolutely CLASSIC workplace.

*The meeting started pretty much as usual; it took twenty minutes or so to get to the reveal.

*Finally, the CEO said something like 'these are the high-level takeaways from the last employee survey we did'

*(apparently there was a survey? probably last fall -- in workplace time that's practically forever ago; I only vaguely remember it)

*Direct from the CEO (paraphrased): 'we said we would share these results with everyone in December, and then we didn't, but we've definitely been working on them'

*biggest thing to work on from the survey: LACK OF COMMUNICATION

*how the company decided to address this: SWITCHING TO A MONTHLY TOWN HALL MEETING

*Which they then DIDN'T TELL ANYONE for three months.

It's not exactly a gold star effort, is what I'm saying. Coal star? Tin star? Whichever one says 'I guess you're trying, but I think you may have missed the point.'

Oh no this sounds like my old department, who absolutely took "lack of communication" in the employee survey in that way. They also started sending out 3-4 emails a day, but never about anything useful or important.
