Cada entrevistada es un caso, porque cada una “ha caído” en una empresa con sus propias tipicidades: la empresa moderna y muy cualificada especializada en nuevos materiales y procesos, la micro-empresa tradicional, en un mercado que con la crisis se hace tremendamente competitivo, la empresa oportunista que se hace grande en el boom y desaparece en la crisis y la gran empresa con procesos estandarizados que se debe reestructurar a partir de la crisis. En gran parte debido a esta variedad, sus trayectorias laborales han sido particulares. Sin embargo, hay algo que las une (y de ahí la importancia de en qué empresas “caen”): durante el tiempo que han estado contratadas, las cinco entrevistadas han huido de cualquier cambio de empresa. Una vez contratadas, no desean cambiar. Una postura que ha perjudicado especialmente a la asalariada que trabajaba con las peores condiciones (en la empresa oportunista) pues cuando tiene la oportunidad de mejorar, no se decide:

Each respondent is a case, because each one "dropped" into a company with its own typicality: modern and high tech company specializing in new materials and processes, the traditional micro-business in a market that, in the crisis context becomes tremendously competitive, the opportunistic company that grows in the boom and disappears into the crisis and the large enterprise with standardized processes to be restructured after the crisis. Largely due to this variety, their career paths have been diferent. However, there is something that unites them (hence the importance of what companies they "fall" into), during the time they were employed, the five interviewees have escaped any change of companies. Once women are hired, they do not like to change. This posture has especially hurt the woman working under the worst conditions (opportunistic companies), because when she had the opportunity to improve, she didn't make that decision:

E: I, for example, (the new employer offered her a job) yes it looked good condition, but for example, I liked working with this other company even earning less. (...) And even had people I had two or three persones, but I was in charge. And, you were going to another place, start over again, just like that again, because it was other people. Like that you return to bitching from the begining. You know what I mean? And start over again fighting with people and ... and I say, here at least I have a base here and I am someone, and if you have to start again with fight not fight, proving yourself. I'm going to have to do it for a lifetime, prove my worth in each place I go. But at least not with peers until they ... you know? (E22 L294)
