1664 Words7 Pages

A conflict I have experienced a few months ago would be a work conflict between my boss and I. During the latent stage, I worked as an assistant to the director of a film company, however, this was no formal office work, and all the work was being done in the director’s home and sometimes via internet. On my first day, everything went well, we did a lot of work, we connected, I enjoyed getting the work done and my boss was impressed by the amount of knowledge and experience I had in the field without actually having qualifications within the field of film making.

Several weeks after, the due date arrived, I sent my part to all members weeks ago and I was awaiting everyone else’s part so I can put the entire project together. On the night of the due date, not one single member submitted their part.

They all said they had other assignments to do and will send the work that same night. I understood their point and I waited that night for their
