Bangalore: Many a times, in a work place the employees quit their job not because they did not like the nature of the job, but it’s because of the reason they work under a bad boss. A bad boss not only unnecessarily drags you towards the office politics and at the same time he or she has the ability to grow up with the help of your strengths and your ideas.

If the boss chooses the word “I” to describe the department’s success, it indicates that he or she is only concerned about their designation. If the interviewer says “we” at the time of particular challenge the team or company faced, it may indicate that he or she deflects responsibility and places blame.
