I could be wrong, but I feel like long-term orientation doesn't really fit this scenario. It seems more about the immediate structure and authority.

This reminds me of a practice question where we discussed how high power distance can lead to micromanagement. I think that's the right answer here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about uncertainty avoidance being linked to how much structure a company has.

I think this might relate to power distance since it sounds like there's a clear hierarchy with managers making most decisions.
