This Nurse Was Written Up At Work Over His Supposedly Anonymous Survey Responses
Have you ever been asked to partake in an anonymous survey for work? What about post-course evaluations in college?
If you ever had any suspicions that these surveys may not actually be anonymous, you could be right.
One nurse named Alex recently shared on TikTok how a supposedly anonymous survey landed him in hot water with his boss.
Alex explained how, one afternoon, he received an email from his manager urging him to fill out a completely anonymous survey about what he does not like about his job, work environment, etc. So, he did.
“Here is the thing. I was super critical on that survey, but I was also very professional,” Alex said.
Nonetheless, he was shocked when his manager angrily approached him the following day.
“They said, ‘Hey, let’s have a meeting about that survey.’ And I was like, ‘Um, no thank you, and also I thought that was anonymous, by the way,'” Alex recalled. Yikes.
Apparently, the manager “flat out” told Alex that no, the survey was never anonymous and that the hospital could still track each staff member’s responses.

This appalled the nurse, who decided he would never engage in a meeting regarding his survey responses.
In fact, Alex’s manager tried to corner him into a discussion for over two and a half weeks. But he kept dodging it.
“In the end, I just got written up for something stupid, and that was it,” Alex said.
His video detailing the incident reached nearly two hundred and sixty thousand people and gained over fifteen thousand likes. Alex’s followers were outraged over his employer’s attempt at retaliation.
“And they wonder why nurses are leaving in droves,” commented one user.
“If they are mad about the feedback I give them when they ask for it, they are the ones who need to do better,” wrote a second user.
Some fellow medical professionals also applauded Alex’s choice to avoid meeting with his employer.
“I am glad you did not take the bait into a meeting. Nurses are not supposed to meet with administration without representation. Good for you,” commented one user.
“[This happened to me, and] I said absolutely, but I want someone from Human Resources in the meeting. It was dropped,” agreed another commenter.
