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 20 : When a new batch of lawyers joins the organization in
2024, they receive an anonymous
email, warning them about the socialization ritual, just as it is about to start. Though
no newcomer paid heed to the mail, the founders are furious. They call a meeting, and
announce that while employees are welcome to express their opinions, this cowardly act
of sending an anonymous email shall not be tolerated.
The watercooler discussions murmur Lisa’s name. Lisa is pleased that someone shares her
perspective on the socialization ritual and has acted. However, she did not write the
aforementioned email. As her name continues to be mentioned, she feels overwhelmed and
wonders if she needs to do something about it.
Which of the following actions
by Lisa can BEST enable her to defuse the situation?
Explanation will be uploaded soon...
The question is "Which of the following actions by Lisa can BEST enable her to defuse the situation?"
Choice A is the correct answer.
