my stepdad would bench and complain the whole time
Yes, the complaining non-stop was more annoying than the crap work product. I even played his favorites Bad Santa and Elf to set a mood.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

oh my god, I think an early meeting for analyzing employee feedback results is actually worse than early morning team meetings where we don't get anything done. Maybe. Updates probably to come.

Oh, no, this is definitely worse, because we're reviewing the team's overall opinion of management. Which is not great. So this is awkward. Even though our manager isn't present.

And now we're going through people's anonymous comments.

That sounds dreadful. One of the higher numbered circles of hell, I'm sure.

If the comments were truly anonymous that could be fun.

They were anonymous, except to the extent that they revealed certain issues that we all know certain people have. It was not good. I so wish I'd been able to pretend I hadn't seen the meeting notice. I probably could have done without any problems.

Ugh.
Unrelatedly, I am upright and back at work! Yay, I guess. I mean, sure, yay. Definitely.

Oh dana that's hella awkward! Damn. Was there any sense at all that anything would be done about the feedback? I'm guessing no.
Fb reminded me that 7 years ago today I started looking for a new job because my old job took away 6 days of vacation per year. In a few months I'll have been at my current company for 7 years, and will be making even more vacation per year...reasons I hesitate to leave this company. Golden handcuffs?

The broader issues, I have no idea. The general stuff about our manager? I would not want to be in the meeting where she's confronted with this feedback. But what can they do? She's got too much work as it is, and they're not going to somehow lighten the load so she can spend time changing her personality and becoming a better manager.
