Case Study Title:   This assignment is to evaluate the article: The Great Resignation and to provide your thoughts and ‘critical thinking’ focused on material covered in this course and information provided in the article.

Identify the primary theme(s) of the case study article (this is a one or two sentence statement):

Descriptive summary in your own words (Focus onmajor themes, issues, concerns, questions that arise in the article):

Favorite quote/statement (identify aquote or statement in the case study that you found compelling, thought provoking, that made you think in an interesting way, or that you liked or agreed with. Briefly justify why you selected the quote or statement):

Least favourite quote/statement (is there aquote, statement in the case study that you found that you did not like or agree with. Briefly justify why you selected the quote or statement):

Study questions (answer all questions):

In the article, the writer refers to ‘the sleep gap’ as an issue (or reality) affecting some worker/ethic groups more than others. In you experience does this ‘sleep gap’ exist and if it does exist in what ways do you feel that this gap is simply a part of a modern busy life?

As HR Managers, what should we be doing to close this (perceived or real) gap in our workplaces?

One of the main points presented by the writer is that ‘slowing up’ is a form of labour action (striking) designed to change labour practices in the workplace. In what ways could ‘slowing up’ occur in a busy hospitality environment, for example the kitchen, restaurant or housekeeping?

Have you experienced or witnessed ‘slowing up’ in your own (or a friends’) workplace—if so, how? Or why? Or when?
