By "highly educated" I meant degrees. It's a fact that people who have a college degree are more eager to jump off the cliff on average.

I think you make a good point about not responding. I could simply say I forgot about it if I'm ever questioned, then question why the survey wasn't anonymous.

tTherefore question their integrity if they bring it up later and tell them they obtained personal information fraudulently Them tell them you are going to file an EEO lawsuit against them. If they try to fire you, it will be retaliation. Huge payout for you

I'll try this if the survey turns out not to be anonymous. Hopefully HR will back down after I tell them the survey was fraudulent.

Worst case scenario, Option 2.
