More in funny poll questions for work and the question of the day.

• One thing. "Move standup and drop the demo?" hides two answers. Post two polls.
• The decision in the question. "Which day should be our no-meeting day?" says what a vote changes. "No-meeting day" does not.
• Settings that fit. One vote each for a decision, anonymous for feelings, several picks for availability.

Leading questions. "How much did you enjoy the offsite?" assumes people did. Ask "How was the offsite?" with a scale.

Too many options, or no way out. Long lists are hard to scan: cut the list or use ranked (more than 5 options is Premium). Add "none of these" to scheduling polls.

No end. An open-ended poll never gives a result people trust. Put the deadline in the question, or add close after (Premium).
