SQL & PL/SQL :: Mutating Trigger While Updating Original Table

I have a table EMPLOYEE with columns employee_id and status. I have a requirement that when an employee status is getting changed, then even its linked employee's status also should be changed to the same status value. For this, I need to handle the updating of linked employee's status using a trigger.

Since we get mutating trigger issue when try to update the originating table, I am trying to go with the approach of "in place of a single AFTER row trigger that updates the original table, resulting in a mutating table error, you may be able to use two triggers. The first is an AFTER row trigger that updates a temporary table, and the second an AFTER statement trigger that updates the original table with the values from the temporary table".

But however I am still facing the same issue.

Test case:

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
(
EMPLOYEE_ID VARCHAR2(1),
STATUS NUMBER(9)
);

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES ('A',1);
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES ('B',1);
commit;
[code]....

Also, any alternate options (rather than using 2 triggers with temp table).
