Employee Pulse Survey Cartoon: Feedback Under Pressure

An employee pulse survey cartoon by Kaapi with Ravi showing an HR rep handing a never-ending 'one minute' survey to a visibly exhausted office worker.

The Scenario: This employee pulse survey cartoon captures the ultimate "administrative burden" paradox.


It features a worker buried under a mountain of tasks being handed a scroll-sized survey intended to "improve" their experience.


The irony is thick: the very tool meant to diagnose burnout is being deployed by HR at the exact moment the employee is too overwhelmed to think.


It parodies the corporate habit of claiming a survey "will only take a minute," ignoring the visible evidence of a person at their breaking point.


The Observation: This narrative identifies "The Performance of Listening."


At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that the "pulse" being checked by HR is often just to see if the employee is still compliant enough to fill out forms.


While HR isn't the one piling on the work, they are the ones asking for a "minute" from someone who doesn't even have time to blink.


HR only sends a pulse survey because they need a data point to prove you're still alive under that pile of work.
