Some of that was Flo acting out. Both she and Mary claim that they were being told certain times for things like interviews only to find out that they were either given a later time in order to give Diana some time alone with the interviewer, or they would find that the interview was over by the time they arrived and Diana had done the whole thing alone. At some point, I can't remember if Mary said it or someone else, Flo's attitude was basically why go through the hassle if these are the games being played?

Gordy fostered an atmosphere within the group that just wasn't conducive to Flo being on her best behavior. That Supreme ship would have rocked a lot longer if he had done all he could to make Flo and Mary happy, rather than expect them to be good with his plans for one of them when they all had dreams and aspirations that they arrived at the company with.
