When I worked for them a decade ago, it was an in-joke that internal surveys were anonymous, but you needed to be logged in to fill them out.
One year, my manager said he was in a meeting where they told him that he was the only manager in New York where nobody on the team said that they thought it was highly likely that they'd be at Google in 5 years (or was it 10 years?). What a hell of a way to find out that the survey really isn't anonymous. What was management thinking in leaking that to him? The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Edit: as I remember, the survey asked things like "Which office are you in?" and "What's your seniority level?", but didn't ask who our managers were, leading to some plausibility that login information wasn't being used to aggregate the data, but it turns out they were aggregating down to the team (4-6 people) level.
