I would say 80% of employees are unhappy, but I don't have any data to back this up.
Or maybe 80% of people are unhappy. No data here either
80% seems too high, but the US Surgeon General declared a loneliness epidemic https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf
And Gallup claims that 29% of Americans have been diagnosed with depression at one point: https://news.gallup.com/poll/505745/depression-rates-reach-new-highs.aspx
So... That is not good. It is almost like humans evolved to live in tight knit, walkable communities.
Joke's on Gallup, I'll be dead before I'm formally diagnosed with depression
