The worker in the mirror
According to Douglas Reid, Associate Professor of Global Business at Queen’s School of Business, employees in recession-era workplaces typically fall into the following behaviour patterns:
• The Terminated: while not physically present in the organization, their memories linger and affect those that stay.
• The Fearful: these employees believe they will be cut next. They are ready to search for a new job but cling tenaciously to whatever certainty their existing situation affords.
• The Indifferent: this group is watching the recession occur and believe it is going to affect someone else.
• The Delighted: high performers who delight in the improvement in their situation relative to the average consumer via sales and discounts in the marketplace.
• The Apocalyptic: a small group that believes that the recession presents a necessary “reset” for a myriad list of failures in the existing system of capitalism.
• The Longers: Hoping for a severance package and optimistic they’ll obtain rapid alternative employment.
• The Engaged: The core of a company’s renewal efforts. They understand the consequences of the recession and what needs to be done to help the business recover.
