On May 22, 2013 an individual with specific initials was number 3382 on the list. The list total was 3492. On August 22, 2013 said individual was number 3347. The list total was 3473, including new hires between May 22 and August 22.
That is 35 resignations/retirements in exactly 3 months time. At an annualized rate that would equate to 4% attrition. Years ago management stated that they are not concerned with attrition of 2-3%/year, but when it ticks up to 4-5% they might be inclined to do something about it.
I picked the specific individual because when I started tracking this he was the last guy on the list at 3406, that was December 17, 2012. So in 9 months he has gone up 59 numbers. With only 24 resignations/retirements in the 6 months prior to May 22 management would not be concerned. The increase in attrition is only just starting. I believe it will continue apace for the rest of the year and beyond.
