Management of Roget Company was surprised to learn that employees were complaining about posters that managers recently placed on departmental bulletin boards. The posters show an employee running to increase plant productivity. In selecting these posters, managers thought employees would interpret the message that the employee had a goal for which to work.

Instead, the grapevine tells management that employees highly resent managers displaying these posters.

Required:

Explain why employees have such a negative attitude toward these posters.
