I can't imagine anyone at my office giving nothing but the worst marks on the VOE survey about our management team. Yet, the team stays and nothing is done about their sometimes abusive and always ineffectual management. Some unions or branches encourage their members to not take the survey. I'm starting to see why. Though I had hopes that something would be done about the surveys, I'm realizing they do no good... and in fact they may be helping management. What if the top managers in my area see the awful scores my local management team is getting, and instead of removing them, they say "wow, this manager is really giving the employees hell, she must be really sticking it to them and doing a great job for the postal service!?"
On a similar note, when it comes to EAS employees being abused, something is done about it. EAS employees at the Southwest Area office in Dallas recently complained about a certain employee, and that employee was removed from their position.
I always put the worst marks possible on our surveys...I think your theory may be correct.
