People sometimes confuse empathy and sympathy. You know, like "I feel for you because I have been in your shoes" or "I feel sorry for you because I can sense you are in pain".
It doesn't always seem significant but it's a very important part of our humanity.
So we decided to see how industries, businesses and individuals express both empathy and sympathy.
It was somewhat along lines you might expect with service people having more empathy and product people having some sympathy. The poll was fun.
Until we asked people in the IT Industry. No matter what they did nor what level they were, the opinions were the same.
They didn't care about the poll or the questions but they did help us set up some wicked pivot tables and a hosted dashboard.
