2 delivery companies quit.that leaves 1998 others. This is lower than an employee attrition rate. It is only newsworthy because it involves Amazon and they gave a reason which confirms a popular media narrative



Similar to articles that read "Americans believe X" and natter on about all the panic that we should feel over this problem, then cite their source as a Twitter thread. Yes, someone said that, amd someone retweeted it. But it's disingenous - or, to put it bluntly, lying - to categorize "Amazon delivery companies" or "Americans" from a couple statistical outliers. Get to at least 5% before you call it a trend.

Edit: Unless you want to write an article citing the parent comment and myself titled "Internet Commenters Demand Less Clickbait and Better Statistics in Headlines"
