The staff members who were selected randomly have dissatisfactions and attitude problems with their jobs except only one person . They also do not want to attend the retreat.

Jack is Heather’s supervisor and he also does not want to attend the retreat and have dissatisfaction about not promoting. He feels same as Heather; because he is black so could not promote. He also said some staffs have been taking off office supplies at their home so company needs solution for this problem. In addition, he thinks the company needs better orientation and socialization program for new employees.
June is manager of customer service and thinks the last retreat was just wasting time. She feels so stressed by her work.
