From the Paper:

"Hart had been given power over Bing that he did not previously have and it seems, from a review of the symptoms, that Bing has some animosity toward Hart because of his new position. Another cause of the problem is the fact that other employees are following Bing's lead and leaving for lunch a few minutes early. This, from Hart's point of view, appears to be both Bing's fault and a lack of respect for Hart's authority. Because of this, Hart begins to dislike Bing even more, rather than exercising his authority as manager and letting everyone know that this is unacceptable behavior. Hart has not been discussing the issues with other employees; rather he has been allowing his dislike of Bing to hamper his management style with these other employees."
