True many Americans leaving but to those of us who have worked in the ex-pat world for many years....we know that making sweeping generalizations about what 'all' of a certain nationality are or are not doing - is fickle and naive...
One of the benefits of being here .... There are pluses you know..(despite mgt's efforts). Cue paragraph above.
I do believe attrition will continue to increase and I have a feeling that the response to our 1.3% pay cut (most conservative inflation figure last year 4.3%) was the last straw for guys who a year ago were in the 'comme si comme ca' crowd.
The next 3-6 months with new school years for kids starting in the Fall & JAN (Antipodeans) will accelerate attrition.
Which will be fun to watch
