The supporting points, which have been presented in the article to prove this issue, have shown that when employees have met with some medical emergencies, mishaps or terminal diseases, they are not given the time to recover. Instead they are rated poor and unbiasedly, consequence of which is their termination from the service through a process known as “purposeful Darwinism”. As stated by Hartnell et al. (2016), such an organization can never be successful for a prolonged period in the coming years, because the increasing dissatisfaction and unresolved grudges of the employees would certainly lead to mass resignation or poor performance in the company, thus, bringing about its downfall.
