Brofft is proposing (1) reducing worker wages by 10 percent for one year; (2) mandating a two-week, unpaid furlough at the end of December; and (3) downsizing the number of employees by 30 percent. Brofft feels that this would reduce the companys expenses while increasing its profitability, enabling the company to stay in business. This move by Brofft is met with huge resistance from the employees because:

a. it violates the personal compact between employees and the organization.

b. it fails to incorporate the destiny phase of the appreciative inquiry process.

c. it hinders creativity of employees.

d. it penalizes employees for low work productivity.
