You know how they say be careful who you meet while up ‘cos you never know if you may need them on your way down? Well, I’ve had a bit of experience on that.
So at some point, I had to work in a team with someone older and more experienced. We got along just fine until one day when I had a bad day and usually good natured me responded to some attitude showing from this fellow by a corresponding display of attitude.
Well, I initially felt justified but then the good girl in me became remorseful and I apologised. My apology was accepted.
Fast forward a little while later, by some twist of fate, my senior colleague became my boss. Imagine what would have happened if I had not made peace when I had a chance…
Your guess is as good as mine. Enough said. We should just Watch It!
Best,
Adefolake
