The role or passive role of the worker some people believe degrading since; as such, this individual is considered a person who, for some reason, is not able to perform his job normally. On the other hand, the activities that a passive worker can carry out are minimal and therefore the work schedule becomes very tedious and lacking in creativity or challenges.
One of the main causes that converts an active worker into a passive one is one that has to do with health conditions, mainly the lack of ability to perform certain tasks, as well as the increasingly common work stress that causes anguish, depression, bodily disorders and that, on medical advice, he cannot continue with his usual task.
In Barcelona, Spain, a passive worker refers to the person who provided services to the company, and served the time of service in accordance with the law, for which reason it is retired. For the Spanish this is considered a passive employee.
In other cases, the passive worker may have become such in retaliation for higher positions or for having made a mistake that takes away the option to continue working in his position but does not recognize him as a fired worker.
This last option is undoubtedly negative, since it is a way in which a company can have what not to take care of the dismissal of a worker at the same time that it places him in a denigrating space or condition.
