Considering the transformations of capitalism, business organizations foster management styles that allow them to preserve and increase their profits as well as ensure their market position. It is considered that through their practices, these organizations exert a form of power that make them produce certain types of subjectivities that result useful for their purposes. The objective of this research is to understand the impact of business organizations on the subjectivity of employees and the implications of this issue for labor rupture. Through the methodological strategy of case study with a qualitative and narrative approach, the phenomenon of study is acknowledged. As a relevant finding it was possible to determine the contextual elements that facilitate the protagonism of the business organization as a significant and influential referent for the conformation of subjectivities. Additionally, some mechanisms deployed by the company in the process were identified, as well as feelings of transgression before an imminent rupture of the labor relationship.

Keywords : Subjectivity; power; business organization.
