The office manager is extremely manipulative and runs the place like a jail, monitoring every smallest aspects of daily routine including interactions with other engineers, coffee and lunch breaks, food habits etc. The principal in the office has no interest in interacting and developing relationships with his fellow engineers and hardly ever listens to or implements new ideas on how things can be changed for the better.
