Question

Jane Smith is a young staff auditor who has performed quite well and has been promoted to senior auditor and heads a five person team. She works for partner John Strong. The CPA Firm has recently reshuffled personnel because of a retirement. Three male auditors joined her team from the team whose senior had just retired. It soon became apparent that these three auditors had worked under “lax” conditions and expected long breaks, extended lunch hours, and no pressure to complete work. They had poor work habits and low productivity. They often had a couple of drinks during lunch. They did enough work to “get by”, but nothing extra.
