I wonder if the stories and myths around M's commitment to employee health would also be affected. It seems like a big part of their identity.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like the rituals are key here. If they stop the sessions, it might change how employees feel about the company culture.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about organizational values being tied to employee well-being. Could that be impacted too?

I think the auditors' recommendation would really affect the routines and rituals at M, since meditation and Tai Chi are part of their daily practice.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the lender would want to assess the entity's financial health, but I'm not sure if social policies or long-term business plans would be as relevant. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a tricky labor classification question. I know salaried nonexempt employees typically get overtime, so I'm leaning towards option C.
