An example of one question asked is ‘do we take food home from the workplace?’ all the interns say no and Billy and Nick say yes.

Dysfunctional conflict is conflict that leads to decline in productivity. It is a result of people's egos, misconceptions and lack of communication. The possible outcomes are blaming and gossip, negative impacts on teamwork and cooperation and high levels of stress and anxiety.
The reasons for conflict are differences in personality, difference in cultures, values and backgrounds, poor communication, change resistance, limited resources and competition and previously unresolved issues.
In one scene the interns are being introduced to one another after being joined together in a team. Lyle the manager introduces himself to the team in third person and the team gets frustrated as they are not used to his different personality. They also get frustrated with Billy and Nick as they have different backgrounds and they differ in age. The other members are arrogant because they are younger and more up to date with technology. The members make remarks about Nick and Billy’s ages and the members egos take over. This is dysfunctional conflict as they were not dealing with differences in backgrounds
