Attrition can hardly help us get better treatment

I can't believe someone wrote that attrition would help those of us who stay get better treatment. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard lately. I hope there isn't anyone else who thinks that the attrition will be good for us? Even if EM starts... — read more
