    I’m not responding to a survey like that unless it’s anonymous or mandatory, in which case I’d lie. Human resources is not there for you, it’s there for the owners.

        lenin facepalm I probably would have been able to tell, but then that’s kinda my job.

        Unless you’re an security expert, assume they’re lying about it being anonymous.
