Uday is a group director overseeing 100 employees. Upon hire, all of his employees go through diversity training as a part of their new-hire orientation process, and must sign a form acknowledging their participation and understanding of the policies and procedures in handling discrimination. Sandra just started working in Uday's group and wants to get noticed for possible advancement. She works late every night, which has been visible to Uday because he must pass her desk when heading out of the office. One evening, Uday asked Sandra if she would like to get some dinner to talk about a particular case she has been working on.
