Global Telecommunications Corporation (GTC) made many unsuccessful investments as they attempted to expand their customer service department into South Asia, specifically India. When GTC announced a major downsizing, employees' behavioral psychology is transformed from corporate to criminal. Christopher Harris, the Southern California branch manager, was instructed to downsize his workforce by 20 percent within six months. Personal secrets are divulged as each coworker tries desperately to secure their job. 1. What would you do to keep your job? 2. What would you do if you had to pass a written test to keep the job you've had for over 20 years? 3. What would you do if you had to participate in a mandatory group interview to keep your job? 4. What would you do if you had to become an actor and perform a role play to keep your job? The employees of GTC decided to do the unthinkable.
