Interviewer: What is a time that you disagreed with a decision at work?
Greg: My previous job was at a game company. Last year, I had a major disagreement with my boss about the project that we were working on. We had been working on developing a mobile game for over 3 years, but my boss wanted to end the project because he thought it would not be successful. I thought that if we made some changes, then the game could be a hit.
Interviewer: So, how did you handle this situation?
Greg: I asked my boss to sit down and have a meeting about the issue. I prepared a presentation and explained to him why we shouldn't shut the project down. He listened and after that, we had a long discussion.
Interviewer: And what happened in the end?
Greg: In the end, my boss decided to end the project. I feel like I did everything I could, but since he is the manager I think I needed to respect his decision.
Interviewer: It sounds like you handled the situation in a very professional manner.
