It's definitely noticeable beyond a certain number. I like to say it's partly a human nature thing. There's some theory/law/term for this where the minority (whether negative or positive) ends up operating as majori

While I think you are right along I'd like to offer a different perspective of what's happening. A lot of what you've said is true-- candidates have changed over time, people are caring less about the company, and the general
