Looks like attrition is not going to slow down anytime soon.
My friend who is still with EM told me they are willing to hire anyone at this point to backfill the leavers and knows some EMIT contractors that just joined/will be joining, most of them are incompetent, like basic level of English and basic technical skills.
EM is now paying more $$$ for incompetent contractors than retaining its own employees aka hotshots.
Karma is real, at least for this kind of situation.
