Question

The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best

Answer 1

The Krisp Kracker Company

The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates the Insider-Outsider Wage Stickiness theory best.

Step-by-step explanation:

This theory suggests that the 100 employees are the insiders while the 35 newly employed are outsiders. Therefore, at negotiations between the employer and the employees, the 100 employees would also like to negotiate employment terms to the exclusion of the outsiders because they feel that they enjoy a juicier and more privileged position.
