Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference that Tasha is observing between her old and new company is most likely due to a difference in corporate culture. The practices of taking home company supplies and making personal calls on company phones were likely accepted and even encouraged in the corporate culture of her old company, while they are frowned upon or prohibited in the culture of her new company. The other options, such as significant others or profit objectives, are less likely to explain this observed difference.
