🎃SALARY SURGE THAT NEVER WAS In August 2025, Statistics Estonia reported a 13.8% wage increase—twice the real figure. A versioning error duplicated salary records, and automated checks missed it. False data went public, a five-day crisis of corrections before the true numbers (5.9%) were released.

This autumn, @elixirestonia.bsky.social will highlight the importance of good #datamanagement practices in a different way — through data horror stories. 👻 Read about our Data Horror Stories event: elixir.ut.ee/news/2025/09... Submit your story: forms.gle/3qFKoTnWCPQo...
