Staff Survey ->> Lies or Truth?!?

Recently, MooMoo's company just conducted a yearly 'Staff Survey'. Last year, MooMoo missed it as she was overseas. The very 1st year, MooMoo didn't really complete the survey with 100% honesty but this year, MooMoo completed the survey with 100% honesty. Everyone was debating on how truthful should they answer the questions.

Some of MooMoo's colleagues are so cute. One of them said that she must not be too truthful else she will not get her promotion. Then, her friend quickly responded that even if not truthful, also will not get the promotion... Hahaha... Some departments have briefing from their section heads before the survey, which is like telling the staff to carefully answer the questions.

Most staff would avoid being too honest during the survey in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble from their bosses or management if the survey method does not 'preserve anonymity' of the person completing the survey.

How to 'Preserve Anonymity' when the form requires you to complete the following details eventhough name is not required?
- gender
- age range
- position
- department
- how many years working in the company

Most important thing for the survey in staffs' perspective would be that after the survey, management would take the appropriate actions based on the staffs' feedbacks and honest responses during the survey. And the actions here are not taking actions of firing staff or penalizing staff due to their honest feedbacks. Hahaha...

Anyway, MooMoo don't really care and she is just stating the true facts and that's what the survey is for. If they can't take in feedbacks, then don't conduct the survey. = p

So, do you 'LIE' or tell the 'TRUTH' during 'Staff Surveys'?!?
