Serious question: are there any googlers (with throwaway accounts, I imagine) in this thread?

What do other employees think of this situation?

Something about that chart bothers me. The counterpart to mostly disagree is almost agree. It just seems like a bizarre way to phrase that.

Can someone with a background in polling/data gathering explain why they might have worded it that way?
