QUESTION $10$

Robin, a former sales manager, has been out of the workforce for more than a decade and is thrilled when she lands a job at Yoyodyne Technology Systems. For her first day at work, she dresses in a conservative business suit and digs her old briefcase out of the closet. When she arrives at the office, she is shocked to see people dressed in jeans and sweatshirts, with some not even wearing shoes. Instead of working in a cubicle as she had for years, she is seated at a long, open table with numerous other employees where everyone wears headphones as they work. She finds that she has trouble keeping up with department communications because she still relies on e$-$mail instead of inter$-$office social networks. The casual office atmosphere is distracting and the level of familiarity her co$-$workers demonstrate with each other is foreign to her. After a few weeks, Robin gives her notice because she realizes she will never fit in at such an organization. This situation is indicative of

a counterculture.

a weak culture.

a lack of self$-$confidence.

bullying.
