[NH] I did an anonymous survey and have had my job threatened ever since.

So I work for a pretty large company that specializes in government contracts. Needless to say, there is the "alpha" mentality that tantalizes the enviornment. Not really a big deal but this will paint the picture.

​

During a routine survey, I offered criticisms of management where certain employees, that meet requirements set by management for promotion have been in their roles for 10+ years expected to complete the work of higher tier roles, without the very obvious compensation or recognition and promotion. Being mindful, this doesn't apply to me, I'm about 3 years with the company.

​

My direct boss was totally okay with the criticism and forwarded it, and has been actively trying to promote and help employees grow, but his boss the lead of the department is shutting them down. I come in contact with this lead supervisor fairly often and here is where it really begins.

​

He printed out my review and passed it around the entire department letting every employee read it, and gauged their reaction. He talked about he took it home to his wife and let her read it and brought it not only to our facility but did the same thing with the other facilities and teams destined to figure out who it came from. Eventually, he finds out it was me. I own it. I have nothing to hide and feel like I'm correct and could answer for it. I didnt recieve criticism about it, or even a talk but he threatened to fire me. Subsequently he has threatened to fire me every single time I see him.

​

Finally laughing it off I said, "I'm never filling out one of those surveys again"

​

He responded with "good!! Thank you!! I cant tell you not to do the survey but that makes me very glad to hear"

​

I cant imagine this is allowed? Ive told my direct boss and he brushed it off as "oh hes just joking you know how he is" and nothing came of it.

​

Are there any rules against something like this?
