"Everyday Use Summary"As she waits for Dee, Mama looks around the yard and at Maggie, triggering memories of Dee’s troubled childhood in their house—her anger towards her family and their poverty, her hunger for higher quality clothes and an education, her charisma, assertiveness, and her beauty. Mama thinks about how Dee’s attitude towards them changed as she became educated thanks to money from Mama and the Church, turning her from hateful to hurtfully condescending. As she remembers Dee as a child, Mama contrasts her with Maggie—a diffident, kind, homely young woman with a scar on her face from the house fire. Mama recounts the traumatizing fire, which burnt down their home, and forced them to build a new one, exactly like it, where they now live.At last Dee and her partner, Hakim-a-Barber, arrive at the house. Dee is dressed in a beautiful, colorful, floor-length dress in African style. She introduces herself as “Wangero,” not as Dee, stating that she changed her name so she would not be named after her “oppressors.” Mama is originally skeptical of both these choices, but decides that she likes the dress. Mama reminds Dee that she is, in fact, named after her aunt Dicie, but agrees to call Dee by her chosen name.Dee takes pictures of her family with their house. She and Hakim-a-Barber eat with Mama and Maggie, and while Hakim-a-Barber is unenthusiastic about the family’s fare, Dee enjoys the collard greens and pork with relish. Dee, who, as Mama mentioned, once disdained the family’s possessions, now unexpectedly covets them. She admires the worn stools, coos over her grandmother’s butter dish, and demands to be given the top of the family’s butter churn to use as decoration in her house. Mama acquiesces, and gives Dee the churn.After dinner, Dee insists on taking home her grandmother’s quilts as well, to hang on her walls. Mama, however, had planned on giving the quilts to Maggie. When Mama refuses, saying that she promised them to Maggie, Dee becomes angry. She insists that Maggie cannot appreciate the quilts, and will wear them out with “everyday use.” When Mama brushes Dee’s anger off, saying that Maggie can simply make new quilts since she knows how to sew, Dee insists that the quilts are “priceless” and that Mama does not “understand” her heritage. Still, Mama refuses to give Dee the quilts, and dumps them on Maggie’s lap. The story ends with Dee’s departure, leaving Mama and Maggie alone together in the house.

Withdrawal BehaviorsConsider the absenteeism of two typical employees. Jerrald has been with Gadgetron Inc. for 2 years. He believed that he had outgrown his job and was ready for a promotion. He applied for a position that would have been a promotion, but instead Gadgetron hired someone from outside the company. Following this perceived rejection, Jerrald began taking long lunches and spending more work time on social media sites and personal phone calls. Jerrald’s colleagues have noticed his withdrawal behavior. Their behavior has also changed as a result, some aligning with Jerrald in their engagement in personal activities during work time, while others have distanced themselves from Jerrald and those around him. His supervisors have raised issue with him individually and collectively with the team, to no avail. They are currently considering next steps for the group. How does the withdrawal of one employee impact a team or even an organization? Withdrawal consists of behaviors that reduce the amount of time working to less than is required by the organization. Jerrald’s withdrawal behaviors resulted from his specific feelings about advancement in the organization; however, resulting withdrawal behaviors and feelings of dissatisfaction can easily spread to others in an organization.In your Discussion Post, you will look at withdrawal behaviors and their impact on the organization, as well as strategies to address them.To prepare for this Discussion:Read the article “An Empirical Study Analyzing Job Productivity in Toxic Workplace Environments.” Consider how toxic environments and burnout can result in employee withdrawal behaviors. Think about the types of workplace characteristics that make up a toxic environment and how they could be addressed.Read the article “A Meta-Analysis of the Interrelationships Between Employee Lateness, Absenteeism, and Turnover: Implications for Models of Withdrawal Behavior.” Reflect on the progression of withdrawal model and how organizations can intervene to stop the progression. Read the article “Disentangling the Relationship Between Implicit Aggressiveness and Counterproductive Work Behaviors: The Role of Job Attitudes.” Consider how aggressive employee behavior can result in counterproductive work behavior such as withdrawal. Consider how these behaviors can happen implicitly, without the employees being fully aware of them, and how that can affect attitudes.Read the article “Surveying the Forest: A Meta‐Analysis, Moderator Investigation, and Future‐Oriented Discussion of the Antecedents of Voluntary Employee Turnover.” Think about how predictors of withdrawal behaviors might be context specific and how that changes the assessment of them.Note: Do not use the examples provided above in your Discussion post.By Day 3Post a response to the following: Provide an example of withdrawal behavior, using behaviors described in the Learning Resources, and explain the impact it can have on the individual, immediate coworkers, and the organization. Are there any specific cultural characteristics or leadership strategies in a workplace that can reduce withdrawal behaviors? Explain. Use your example in your explanation.ReferencesAnjum, A., Ming, X., Siddiqi, A. F., & Rasool, S. F. (2018). An empirical study analyzing job productivity in toxic workplace environments.
