High power distance, without a doubt. I bet the managers have a secret handshake and a secret clubhouse where they plot new ways to make their employees' lives miserable.

Gotta be option B, power distance. These managers must have a penchant for monocles and twirling their mustaches while barking orders.

Micro-management and endless meetings? Yep, that's high power distance alright. I wonder if the managers are required to wear powdered wigs and carry scepters.

I disagree. I think it's A) Uncertainty avoidance because the company relies heavily on planning and control to avoid uncertainty.

I agree with Ernest. The managers having high control over employees shows a high power distance.

Hmm, this sounds like a textbook case of high power distance. Those poor employees must feel like they're living in a corporate monarchy.

Ah, the classic bureaucratic nightmare! Clearly, the high power distance dimension is at play here. Managers love to keep their subjects under a tight leash, don't they?
