Can you please explain what you mean by employee attrition to a non-native English speaker?



They're hoping a bunch of people quit (instead of complying with the mandate) to reduce headcount/the negative PR of layoffs.


I think he means that some companies would like employees to voluntarily quit


Employees quit for all sorts of reasons. When a company gets big enough, it's just resource management, like a board game. Employee attrition is getting employees to quit without firing them, which is usually cheaper for the company.
