I can attest to this in countless examples from my own life. The problem is it's hardly quantifiable at all. It's a "feeling" that isn't always easy to pick up on and quite frequently you can be fed wrong information to make you think the ship is sinking when it's really just taking a new direction (that you may or may not be or want to be a part of). The analogy I use is rats know when to abandon a sinking ship. If you're a pirate sailing along and see a shitload of rats jumping off your pimp ass boat, you better be joining them lest you actually want to sink with it. That's reserved for captains (CEOs) not us regular folk.
