(iStock / Getty Images)Reader: I work for a small arts nonprofit of about 50 employees, in an almost janitorial labor-type position, and I really enjoy my job. Is this something I can be forced to do, or can I opt out without fear of reprisal? You know better than I where your employer fits in these examples, and whether the employer’s goal is looking like an “employer of choice” on the surface, or actually generating thoughtful conversation among workers. Employer-sponsored personality assessments are like office parties and other nonwork events: Some people unironically enjoy them. Again, you know better than I whether saying “no thanks” to future sessions, or even offering feedback on your underwhelming experience, is worth the risk to how you’re perceived by management.
