Completely agree. Interesting how the internal dev satisfaction polling always shows that the vast majority of devs just absolutely love the internal tooling and processes. Might have something to do with the polls not actually being anonymous. When hr/polling teams are asked about anonymity they generally skirt or ignore the question, but I've learned that enough metadata is collected to identify any responder in pretty much any internal poll.

Hiring freeze applies to internal transfers too

Why would you respond positively even on non-anonymous polls? The goal is to determine the state of the internal tools, not to purge any dissenters…

Well ... maybe?

I suppose? I’ve always answered honestly and never been purged so far.

N1 doesn’t really help, but it’s a start.

Same. Seems really nonsensical to purge someone from a tool satisfaction poll/survey.

I’ve never seen non-anonymous polls not used to weaponise, single out, and then fire someone.
