The company I work for is "reorganizing" (or in other words, "weeding out the incompotent people") and the new "Equity Group"/Board of Directors decided that we needed to do an employee survey. We had until the end of the month to complete it, but I felt that I had to do it yesterday. Most of the questions where based on a scale of 0-10, 10 being great, and consisted mostly of how you felt about the company, communication across the company, being a team player, etc. But then of course at the end of the survey, they let you make comments. Here's how I was thinking yesterday:

1. How can we make our company a better place to work?
-Have better communication within the organization and department, as to what is expected from employees.
-Work on ways to boost employee morale.
-Be able to participate in team building exercises within the department.
-Have computers that actually work, and not have an IT department that tells you your best solution to fix your computer, would be to toss it out the window.
-Hold all employees to the same standard of work output.
-Hold employees accountable for their work, without having exceptions like "we can't lay-off (insert name) because they have knowledge about customers/product/etc," especially when they are not held accountable for the actual work, or lack thereof, that they do (or don't do) on a daily basis.
-Compensate employees based on their work, not on their position or how long they have been with the company.

2. Please provide any additional comments that you feel would be helpful
-Take the old pictures down on the Intranet. It is depressing to see all the people that used to work here but have been laid off over the past 3 years.



They did say that this was completely confidential, and that they wanted our honest opinions. But still, they're going to know it was me that made those comments, since I have been making most of them for the past 2 years. ha.
