Question 1

Linton – It was during Lisa’s first day in office when Linton explicitly mentioned that “she
does not like Harvard MBAs”. This statement and Linton’s disinterested welcome was the
friction point.

Scoville – Scoville also mentioned that he does not like Harvard MBAs when he took Lisa out
for lunch. He also possesses a condescending attitude and was acting like an overbearing big
brother. He also assigned copying activities which also, according to me, created friction.
