I find this odd and suspicious. Should I be worried? How should I handle the situation?

#3Do you want to keep working at this place? Then fill out the survey and select the answers that CEO wants to hear.
Do you not care if you keep working here? Then fill out the survey honestly, OR refuse to fill it out at all.

#4Sounds like Elon's 'open door policy'.
It's bait.

#5Depends on the questions, doesn't it? Asking employees for feedback on how the business is running and how it might be improved seems reasonable to me. Possibly even encouraging.
Don't answer questions you don't feel comfortable answering, for whatever reason. If that's a problem for the CEO then it's their problem; your integrity is worth more than your job, right?

#6It's better to assume incompetence than malice. Some bosses legitimately want to follow up on feedback. But yeah, it's pretty dumb - he won't actually get honest answers this way.
I would shoot straight. Not once in my career have I ever suffered for an honest assessment given humbly. And you'll sleep better at night for it.

#8Tell him what he wants to hear. There's likely no upside to doing anything else.

#9Just answer everything is great, five stars, top job, couldn't be happier!
It's still 0 information, but more convenient for you

#10Refuse to complete the survey.
I disagree : don't refuse to do it, because it will lead to "why" questions or so, and it wont do good. Just delay. If he insists, tell him what he want to ear.
