Also curious is the methodology section:
“The survey was administered by Qualtrics and did not target Slack employees or customers.”
I think from the introduction section they are targeting employees of Fortune 500 companies, but they are restricting the sample to those that don’t use slack… I think this is going to generate a biased sample.
There is also some discussion of “of executives currently working remotely” but they don’t discuss the count of respondents.
The methodology section has some definitions:
“Respondents were all knowledge workers, defined as employed full-time (30 or more hours per week) and either having one of the roles listed below or saying they “work with data, analyze information or think creatively”: Executive Management (e.g., President/Partner, CEO, CFO, C-suite), Senior Management (e.g., Executive VP, Senior VP), Middle Management (e.g., Department/Group Manager, VP), Junior Management (e.g., Manager, Team Leader), Senior Staff (i.e., Non-Management), Skilled Office Worker (e.g., Analyst, Graphic Designer).”
There is some discussion of “executives,” “managers,” and “employees,” it seems a little difficult to tease out from the text which group is being talked about, though.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoIt defines who was surveyed, you can only guess what they mean by "executive." Their definition could limit it to 10-100 respondents, and how many of them are currently working from home? That 46% may represent like 20 people, making it statistically garbage.
