Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that
follow.
Ned Flanders and Homer Simpson Partners Limited is a law firm, known for its unwavering
commitment to client satisfaction. They treat the clients as family members who have grown
along with the firm. Further, they are highly regarded in the industry, consulted by the
country’s top organizations. Among the founders, Homer Simpson is flamboyant, while Ned
Flanders is serious. Together, they bring a dynamic balance to the team.
The organization believes in a strong socialization ritual that bonds the new lawyers
(newcomers) with the existing members. Also, the socialization ritual ensures that newcomers
fully understand the nature of their work and integrate seamlessly into the company’s
culture. During their first week, newcomers are overloaded with a barrage of artificial
tasks, unexpected client calls, and a challenging meeting with the founders. This results in
newcomers getting overwhelmed, and doubting their decision to join the firm, only for the
founders to meet them and reveal that this is one big prank and a way to welcome them to the
organization. This socialization ritual has served them well for the past two decades.
However, not all the newcomers appreciate the utility of this ritual.
One of the lawyers, Ms. Lisa Simpleton, who joined in 2025 and went through the same
socialization ritual, found it unwelcoming. She believes that other newcomers might also
share the same opinion. Lisa thinks that the current generation, especially post-COVID,
needs more friendly welcome, and the firm must put an end to this ritual.
Question 19 :When a new batch of lawyers joins in 2024, Lisa feels
that it is her moral responsibility
to reprieve the newcomers from the ensuing stress. However, Lisa, like the others who
joined along with her, is on probation for two years. During the probation period, her
skills and performance are under evaluation. Upon successful completion of this two-year
assessment, she will be eligible for confirmation. Since she is yet to be confirmed, she
wants to be seen as fitting within the organization’s culture.
Which of the
following options will BEST enable Lisa to save the newcomers from the socialization
ritual, without being singled out for questioning the organization’s culture?
Explanation will be uploaded soon...
