Mar 1 at 18:46 comment added Ooker hmm, how are workplace problems different to HR problems?
Feb 28 at 17:53 comment added Ooker oh, I was framed by the statistic research, and thought survey is it. I guess you mean it's the proposed question
Feb 28 at 13:27 comment added nvoigt Mod Not sure what you mean. Surveys are generally a bad fit for our SE format, we expect each answer to be an authorative answer to the question. A survey questions multiple people, each with their own answer that is not an authorative answer to your question and only through piecing it all together and compiling numbers and averages, you will get what you are looking for.
Feb 28 at 13:18 comment added Ooker I understand a problem with the job itself is not a workplace problem. Can you give an example on a survey that looks like a workplace problem but not?

Feb 28 at 6:11 comment added nvoigt Mod Not at all, being fired unfairly from the job at a fishing trawler by HR using an algorithm is definetely a workplace problem, although it isn't interpersonal or involves an office. What makes it a workplace problem is that it is an actual problem with the workplace, opposed to a problem with the job itself (lets say "how do I operate a 500SX crane on a trawler") or a survey.
Feb 28 at 4:04 comment added Ooker it seems to me that "workplace problem" is all about interpersonal issues in the office, right?
Feb 27 at 17:03 comment added nvoigt Mod Sure, if it's open content and you are allowed to do so. But even then, it's not really a "workplace" answer, because there does not seem to be a workplace problem. You could as well ask "what standing desks do office workers prefer" or "what are the reasons constructions workers prefer soda over tea". Sure, it's all tangentially related to the workplace, but none of it really is a workplace problem. Nor is SE a good format to get a good answer to those kind of questions.
Feb 27 at 16:38 comment added Ooker if the answer is a statistic, then isn't that we should copy the relevant part in the answer, and that's what notorious in SE?
