What does the win achieve other than energising his supporters against the Demonrats, deep state, sinister Jewish cabal, trans kids, or whatever enemy they’ve confected this month? Everyone else knows he’s a crook - this is a net loss in the absence of actual consequences.
I don’t want to get overexcited and pop my champagne at the latest possibility of getting a glimpse of boob meaningful consequences - I’ve spent enough time being wet, sticky, disappointed and full of shame, thanks.
As a former asshole designing, implementing, and running those surveys in various capacities, the company only runs these to dishonestly interpret the results as they please. Noone will be surprised to learn your employer almost certainly doesn’t care about what you think - only the returns you deliver. It’s for their benefit - not ours.
Mind you, it could be worse - I remember speaking to an exec at a major bank that told me words to the effect of “I know we have a morale problem - a big fucking morale problem - but if I measure it, I’ll have to actually do something about it.”
It’s also a fairly reliable indicator that the glory days of the business are over, and they’re pivoting from innovation to capture / create new markets and products to a conservative stance protecting their dominant position at the expense of everyone else - customers, staff, suppliers, vendors…
It’s possible to run lean and innovate, but at this phase of the business lifecycle, they’re not retooling to remove redundant management and organisational bloat - they’re cutting the “doers” responsible for building the product because they know they’re now in a position to sell the same old BS and just crush new market entrants that would drive continued improvement.
It doesn’t need to make sense - she’s just dogwhistling that her opponents are agents of the sinister (Hollywood) Jewish cabal. The type of brain-addled dipshit that would vote for her will lap it up.
I’ve got no particular love for Biden beyond him being better than the alternative (although he’s made some pretty strong pro-union moves lately). I just haven’t heard of this stuff.
