So sad.

Every week my company’s intranet site has a different “Quick Poll” where you can voice your opinion about whatever random thing they ask. The questions are always multiple choice and usually ask really silly things like favorite sport, activity, mode of transportation to/from work, things like that. It is also nice to have something to look forward to Monday morning, when the new poll comes out.

However, I was sorely disappointed when I came in on Monday to see the new question and its results.

Unfortunately there are 100 of my co-workers who feel like they made the wrong choice on the most important decision in their lives. And even worse is that whoever created the poll knew to put spouse as an option. I've been watching it all week hoping that there would be a change in percentage, that coincidentally all the unhappily wedded people just happen to take the poll on Monday morning. But Spouse have been holding strong at 6% as the number of total votes has doubled since I first checked it. That makes me sad for those who voted for that option and very grateful for my wonderful, loving, and freaking hilarious husband. Love you babe!!!

I agree, so sad. What's sad too, but not even close to the spouse thing is that 22% wanted to change their career... and it's a work poll.

Pretty cool little poll thing your company does. Kinda lets you get to know what's going on around you without specifically hearing everyones problems and thoughts. Cool, if I ever get back into HR, I'm gonna do a poll at my work!
