Unpopular opinion: that '78% of workers are quiet quitting' stat everyone shared traces back to a poll of 1,000 people with no margin of error listed | Debate the Data - Vivisector
Funny thing is my own job probably got counted in that 78 percent and I never even took the poll. Someone just called me up, asked if I was "engaged at work" while I was microwaving leftovers, and I said "sure" with my mouth full. Boom, national trend. A thousand people is basically the population of my old high school, and we couldn't even agree on where to eat lunch. The margin of error thing kills me too, like nobody thought to ask how sure we are about any of this.
