He only thinks growth and expansion are bad when he got laid off. He doesn't have an issue with growth and expansion when it results in steady promotions, pay raises and generally an income that's far beyond the average thanks to his role being in demand and the evil forces of capitalism (which drive growth, which is bad!) are in effect. It's an emotional reaction, so I don't think any company should be too concerned about it. When he gets hired again, his emotional state will change and he'll reconsider and land on "maybe growth isn't so bad".
