# Background:
# The following code works but I have intentionally introduced issues to make it inefficient.
# UserEvents are created for every interaction a user has in the system. It stores what employer, partner and
# controller they were on. When there were 10 users and only a little bit of traffic, this would run quickly.

# Instructions:
# 1. Please make this code more efficient through refactoring so that it can run at a greater scale,
#    along with adding some comments to improve the readability.
# 2. Please explain what the variable 'distinct_groups' will contain by the end of the execution and what
