So there is this article that draws some really fucking bad conclusions about the Great Resignation. It's coming out and saying that 80% of all people who quit their jobs during the Great Resignation regret it.
If you read the article it goes on to say that 47 million people quit their jobs during the Great Resignation.
First and probably the biggest problem is that 47 million people left their jobs, it does absolutely nothing to find out the number who left their jobs for other work because of hour cuts/ benefits etc. Second. The methodology section is fucking abhorrent. Has roughly 1200 people, a little under 400 of which are employers not employees meaning roughly one third of the participants results are useless. That leaves a little over 800 actual employees. All of which appear to be self report as opposed to a generalized survey which is one of the worst ways to get accurate data. On top of that there is zero information on how they actually collected the data so no one can even attempt to recreate their numbers and what bias might have gone into it.
Finally the amount reponses that could even remotely be used is a little over 800. They took data from 800 plus people and extrapolated it to 46 million people. To put it into perspective they are saying .0000174 percent sample of that number is indicative of the entire population.
Never trust them. Ever.
