I share some of your concerns about the article, though the one quibble I'd have:

> In that scenario, it's business performance affecting employee engagement.

All of the examples that you gave aren't really business performance, they all represent some combination of fraud or terrible behavior. Sure, it could be fraud hiding negative business results, but the fundamental issues in all of those are managerial misbehavior.

You are correct. I was looking for a stark contrast in business performance that would be assured of having the same employee base. I think it is still true in companies where the business has run its course and sales are declining over time that the business performance can reduce engagement. The more time that passes, the more employee turnover and it's therefore less direct in causation.
