Officevibe is not anonymous in certain circumstances. It shows which city (And maybe IP?) the questions were answered from.

If you're working remotely this could easily identify you.

Huh. I am working remotely (well, most of my team is now), but more importantly, I'm the only person in the city I'm in. Not that it really changes my responses, I've kind of always assumed my anonymity wasn't guaranteed with this, though it does make me hate Officevibe just a little bit more.

I should start responding to the survey behind a different VPN endpoint each time. See if anyone asks questions.

Officevibe doesn't track your city, I don't know where he got that from.
