What was your worst working experience?
This is a good question however i don't remember having any worst working experience, i do remember an occassion where the Boss called me to his desk and taught me something very valuable about working in a team of ladies. I was a young graduate in the Bank and i would work long hours and ensure i meet my deadlines in time however i had never worked with a person who was a parent. So on this occassion one of my colleagues had a problem which she didn't convey to me or my colleagues probably because i was young. But my boss talked to me and requested that we cover up for a female colleague because she had a person problem. It was a rather turning experience because my boss demonstrated the human aspect which is never taught in business school. To me that was one of my best learning experiences.
