Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I'll acknowledge that 1-in-5 bring parents bit is pretty wild to me as I'm assuming it was more than just a ride.
1-in-5 of the survey respondents say they’ve seen a recent grad bring in a parent. That doesn’t mean 1-in-5 bring parents.
That doesnt even mean anyone brought in parents. Thats an easy lie that multiple managers Ive worked for would gleefully tell
What's the point of that lie though?
Reinforcing stereotypes they believe are true despite lack of evidence.
Like how these same people swore up and down that millenials were lazy, greedy, worthless members of society not 10 years prior. Wasnt true then, isnt true now, but I spent my working years getting an earful of "examples" of why millenials were awful workers.
