I wouldn't go as far as to call me an asshole, and I definitely didn't <blame> anyone. But to each their own. Full-disclosure: I admitted that I panicked, and that I was unable to complete the interview. I'm pretty candid about things, and in our first interview (which was with our CEO), I told him that I was naturally nervous, and was the captain of my team in a battle vs lifelong anxiety. To me, though, being employed is to be part of a team. Sometimes, you have to pick up your teammates. Everyone commits an error from time to time, nobody's perfect. You're not expected to bat 1.000. It's not about that you bat .250 coming into the season, but where you end up as a team and individually at the end of it. To this day, and 9 months into employment, I'd like to think that I've offered a lot of value despite my shortcomings. I'm confident that anyone on my team would say the same, too. Which, to me, is what matters.
