Case Study
Jaideep was based in Chicago and worked for a multinational chemical
company. His wife, Anne, was an engineer. One evening, Jaideep arrived home
with the news that he was being posted as local manager to a poor Central
American Country X. the appointment was being made in at short notice
because of recent policy changes. No one doubted Jaideep technical
qualifications for the job. He was scheduled to be at post within the month. The
company had not consulted his wife, Anne, about the decision. But she felt that
she could not object to a move which would enhance his career. She gave up
her own job, took their two young children out of their school and arranged to
go with him. At post, Anne discovered that the culture did not tolerate women
working in a ?male? profession such as engineering. In addition work permits
were not available to a dependent spouse. When Jaideep left for work in the
morning, she took the children to their new school, communicated with a
domestic servant who spoke no English, and shopped in the market. Otherwise
she had little to do and was bored and depressed. Her social circle was restricted
to the wives of her husband?s colleagues. In the evenings their social life was
limited to business functions, where typically she was excluded from the main
topic of conversation ? the company. She knew that she was drinking too much.
Also, she knew that her depression worried Jaideep and made it harder for him
to perform well at work. An acquaintance had reported that local staff was
beginning to question his expertise and to query why he had been appointed in
preference to a local candidate. Their marital disputes were becoming more
common, and all members of the family were suffering. Within the year,
Jaideep thought of resignation and go back to home country.
