ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the movement from a lack of recognition to self-withdrawal, to renunciation of behaving as a citizen and influencing their own destiny. It explores why it is so difficult to find meaning in professional life, to identify how the bonds with others and the company become looser and looser. The question at issue is also how to listen to and understand the feelings of solitude, insecurity, nonsense, and powerlessness of those executives. Many “difficulties” can turn into tragedies with serious consequences, such as layoffs, professional exhaustion, depression, and even suicide. Citizenship requires that individuals ask themselves the questions that will allow them to put their place in society into perspective. In this way, reflexivity is foundational to both engagement and citizenship. Subjectivization is a difficult process for individuals who work in companies, particularly during a crisis period, where destruction and destructiveness are omnipresent.
