In my experience, if a "bad" experience has meant that you behave in a certain way, react in a certain way, or have developed a certain set of values, then explaining this to colleagues can only be good. It not only helps them to communicate with you, but it also shows a level of trust and a level of maturity. 0 Reply as... Cancel
