Companies knew the mandated return to the office would cause some attrition, however, they were not prepared for the serious problems that would present.
The “nearly half” remark is referring to the previous sentence regarding 42% attrition. The paragraph could have been structured better, and I wouldn’t say “nearly half” until the 46% mark or so, but it isn’t as bad as “29% == half”.
29% is almost a third, which is nearly half, which if we round up from there is 100%!
Don’t disagree with the article’s sentiment, this statement was just absurd to me lol. 29% is definitely not “nearly half”
