John, the operations manager of Ali-mama Asia Branch office has to do his 3rd quarter attrition reporting to headquarters. He grinned to himself when he saw the monthly report. Phew! Thank goodness, I can use Septembers data to report to headquarters it is the latest information and lowest in this quarter!! I can even say attrition has declined, compared to August! Do you agree with John? Why?

3rd Quarter July August September Month-end no. of employees 150 120 110 No. of resigned employees 25 30 10
