Assignment #1 Part 2

This is your first week in your new job at Safety Zone, a leading producer of IT modeling software. Your prior experience with a smaller competitor gave you an edge in landing the job, and you are excited about joining a larger company in the same field. So far, all is going well and you are getting used to the new routine. However, you are concerned about one issue.
