Abstract

This netnographic study explores the impact on employees subjected to the implementation of four consecutive redundancy programmes over a period of 26 months within an engineering organisation in the private sector. Our research highlight the extent of the presence of the key components identified by the multidimensional theory of burnout (Maslach, 1998); exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and job detachment and feelings of organisational ineffectiveness and failure (Maslach and Leiter, 2006). The research draws on employee perceptions during and post consecutive implementation redundancy implementation. Data from 2033 comments from an intranet-based ‘mood indicator’ is analysed along with engagement survey results.
