I still remember the CIO and two of his VPs talking openly about the surveys and who each one was, even if the names weren’t on there.

They could tell things like what teams they reported into. A lot of “teams” were 2-3 people or less. They knew each and every one of the surveyors without being told their names.

You learn a lot reporting directly to upper execs. All the discrimination, racism, sexism, anti-worker bullshit…. It is true. At least in my experience, and I come off as openly one of the most progressive people in a work environment. Just imagine what they say and do when I’m not around.
