Wouldn't that be 60% are not interested. 100% - (20% very interested) - 20% (somewhat interested). People who are somewhat interested do not count towards being not interested.

I don't know how the survey was worded. But if they asked me, would have said "somewhat interested", in that I want to work from home 1-2 days a week, but no way all 5 days a week

> extremely or very interested in working remotely full time

It sounds like you are not at all interested in working remotely full time

[filoleg]

Correct, but it sounds like there was no option for "strongly interested in working remote part-time".

What other option is this person supposed to pick then? Saying "not at all interested" skews the results of the survey to mean that this person is not interested in remote work whatsoever.

Imo in the absence of "strongly interested in working remote part-time" answer, picking "somewhat interested in working remote full-time" is the most rational choice.

Probably another big chunk was neutral, so it may less than 50% not interested (which also isn't the same as against).

[cjhopman]

Right, these sorts of surveys typically have 5 answers: strong negative, negative, neutral, positive, strong positive.

[dajohnson89]

with 60% being not interested, what value is the survey if the ensuing decision disregarded the majority opinion?

[dudul]

There was probably a "I don't care" option, not far fetched to imagine that these 3 options combined were more than 50%.

[mv4]

no, there were other choices there.
