What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I am surprised that the percentages quoted are so low.

On the other hand, let's turn the question around. How many employees are completely truthful with their employers? Say anything from this short list:
1. Used a sick day for personal, non-health related reasons.
2. Blamed a mistake on a customer or other employee.
3. Used the company Internet connection for personal reasons.
4. Given their boss the "silent treatment"
5. Made negative comments about their supervisor to other employees.
What we may be looking at is human behavior, not "evil supervisor" behavior.

You make an excellent point AA ... but let's look at it yet another way:
1. In the United States there is less vacation time given to employees than anywhere else.
There are times when what employees are given is truly not enough.
2. Often blame is given because an employee fears losing his/her job.
3. No argument there ... but, so do employers.
4. Not as likely as the other way around.
5. Two way street -- I've heard negative comments made both ways, even when a person is valued.
What we may be looking at is human behavior, not supervisor OR employee behavior
