Work Culture Trends And The Financial Crisis
Corporate downsizing and restructuring are common phenomena during financial crisis. Then again, are corporate trends really different and unusual during the recession? Dr. Karen Ho, a University of Minesotta author and anthropology assistant professor shares her experience when she was working in Wall Street. According to her, it was fascinating that company downsizing and restructuring are actually common even when the economy was booming back in 1996. Whenever a company announced a major layoff, its stock rallied. She found that mergers, downsizing, break ups and restructuring were not only an ideological commitment of boosting shareholder value, but an inherent aspect of Wall Street's work culture. Work culture on Wall Street is how it feels and how people are in New York's financial district.
Transition Coaching
People should constantly move in lock step with the market. Businesses have to adjust and evolve- or die. A company that becomes stagnant and inefficient becomes a big lumbering brick and eventually terminates. An organization needs to constantly change and restructure to thrive and survive.
