Last year, the ECB faced some embarrassment after a staff survey revealed grievances including that around 17% had been “yelled at or addressed in an aggressive tone ”, while almost a third felt they had been discriminated against.
In response, the ECB removed questions from this year’s survey, according to a Politico report.
The staff union accused the ECB of only including questions that lead to positive answers.
“It’s as if the ECB is saying it tackled high inflation because it stopped collecting price data,” said Carlos Bowles, vice-president of the ECB staff union. .
A separate survey by the staff union last year also showed that Lagarde’s situation was considered far worse than that of her predecessors.
