Also this survey needs to just divide the answers by class more. It is laughable that they report that founders and CEOs are the most happy and most optimistic- of course they are, they can use AI and threats of layoffs to squeeze and terrorize their employees more while making more money. That isn't a novel or interesting result.
But "small company" doesn't have to mean "startup". I'd be unlikely to work for a startup that isn't mine. Fortunately, most small companies aren't startups.
