Great idea but weird examples given.
> I know you've been stealing my sandwiches.
Doesn't this kind-of defeats the purpose? It's pretty clear who is who in this scenario.
- IkmoIkmo 9y agoAgreed, it's weird. Although, perhaps he/she sent it the accusation every single employee. Some will go 'mmm, weird, I didn't do anything, but I can't confront the accuser either as it's anonymous', whereas one will go 'shit, they know it's me, I better stop doing this'. At least until everyone talks starts talking about getting the same message. (it only takes one to come forward, after all). I'd still think it's weird and wouldn't do this myself, but in a way it could work.
- smt88 9y agoI also think that on any team I've ever been on, knowing everyone's writing style and personality would give it away. Maybe it makes more sense in a big company.
- AznHisoka 9y agoIn large companies, people sometimes steal unlabeled food from the fridge without knowing whose it is.
- alistairSH 9y agoEven the initial example of anonymous feedback about meetings was strange to me. If a large meeting is worthless/long/whatever, I'll tell my VP directly in person. Do other people really trust their coworkers so little that they feel the need to submit any criticism anonymously? That doesn't sound like a healthy work environment.
- runeb 9y agoI agree its not healthy, but the author might be in a culture different from yours where such issues are hard to raise directly.
