I suspect that the problem is, you think the interviewer is trying to find out information about your manager. They are not. They are trying to find out information about you. | |

The question is intended to discover whether you able to be realistic about your relations with other workers, and how you handle it. If your response is always "there is nothing I dislike" then you are portraying yourself as someone who is either unrealistic about their workplace relations, or who is bull***tting because they don't want to be 'airing dirty laundry'. Please remember that just because you dislike something about a manager that doesn't make them a bad manager. | |
