Both Ben and Veronica were high dissatisfied with the arrangement, therefore they tried to initiate discussion with Anson about their dissatisfaction with the new proposed arrangement. However, both of them were immediately rebuked and told When at work, you listen to what your boss tells you to do, so suck it up and deal with it." Veronica tried to casually bring up the topic a few more times in various meetings, but each time Anson did not want to hear her reasoning. Ultimately, Ben and Veronica decided that continuing in the current trajectory would no longer work. Since Anson was not receptive to their previous initiations to discuss the issue, Veronica decided to write a formal letter on behalf of her and Ben to Mr. Ozaki, the Chief Executive Officer of MYY. Veronica has always had a positive working relationship with Mr. Ozaki, having received particularly strong praise from him after a company-wide presentation that was insightful and in line with the company's 10-year strategic direction. Mr. Ozaki frequently also enjoys chatting with Veronica during MYY social mixers, as Veronica's grandmother is of partial Japanese ancestry and studied in the same town as Mr. Ozaki. The letter sent to Mr. Ozaki made clear that the new structure was not only unreasonable to Ben and Veronica because they personally did not like the change, but because the company would not benefit from the team restructure due to the unequal delegation of responsibilities. Stories of inappropriate professional relationships between Anson and Yuki heard from the organization grapevine were not mentioned, unless there was direct evidence that could prove negative impact on their work. Ben had saved up such evidence in the form of written emails calendar meeting dates, records and photos, and this was included as supporting information in her letter. Multiple colleagues in other departments were also wiling to corroborate some of the scenarios mentioned in the letter. Finally, Veronica signed off the letter with Several suggestions on how to better improve Anson's team structure, focusing on how to derive a better balance of job tasks to increase job- person match for each member of the team.
