Having casually studied those sorts of things using these nontraditional methods, I can tell for a fact that the "wave" above (mass departure) is far from normal, even for a very large company such as IBM.

Whatever IBM says about the scope, scale, or magnitude of the "RAs", it doesn't tell the full story. █
