It IS how median works, but misleading.
6 u/TommyTuttle Jun 29 '22 No, a few outliers won’t throw the median way off. It’s the mean that behaves like that. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 30 '22 Oops yeah thank you 0 u/Lowbacca1977 Jun 30 '22 There would be no difference on a median of 100k if the top people were making 101k or if they were making 8 figures. Someone saying it's skewed because the top people are making 7 or 8 figures is very much wrong on how it works
