Layoff aftermath check-inanonymous
Question 1 of 5

How much do you trust leadership to be straight with you about what happens next?

Not at allCompletely

A local preview. What you pick stays on this page and is never sent.

Why these questions

The open question at the end is the point of this one. The four closed questions in front of it exist to give it a frame and to give you something you can chart across a second wave, because trust and intent to stay are the two numbers that move after a layoff and the two nobody measures. People answering this have every reason to doubt the promise of anonymity, which is why the respondent screen tells them what leadership will see before the first question rather than after the last.

Results first show at 8 responses

Nobody sees any answers to this poll, you included, until 8 people have responded: the minimum group of 5, plus a few answers that are held back while the survey is open. Below that, an individual answer could be traced back to the person who wrote it, so the results stay sealed. Once it closes with the minimum group in, everything shows. Worth knowing before you send it to a team of two.
