Jen was totally out of line with teh Jew comment. The women to whom she was referring just didn't get the theme of the restaurant. It was more a product of their age and prefrence than whether or not they were Jewish. Also, i don't think their comments alone made much of an impact.
The team screwed up by not catering to the neighborhood taste. The place was too upscale and chi-chi for that area. Thye also seemed to be hovering over guests, pushing them for comments, etc. Nobody wants that while they're having dinner.
Stacy is an ass. She's a back stabbing little twit who did undermine Jen's authority and that is what Jen failed to point out in the board room. She confirmed the idea that it was strictly personal.
I know a lot of people will misunderstand this next point but, I feel like they are setting the women up for failure by making the teams male against female. In general, women of that age, in the coprporate world seem to feel they have more to prove than men do. A alot of those women are trying to show their strenght and power in the wrong way because they are not experienced at being powerful women in a corporate environment. It's leading to back stabbing, bitchiness and a level of competition that might be different if the teams were made up of a mix of men and women.
