This week, Nick Clegg confessed that one of his biggest regrets during his time in government was not a particular policy, but “sitting mute next to David Cameron at Prime Minister’s Questions every week”. This, he continued “was a sort of terrible encapsulation of what our critics said about us, that we were somehow just sort of passengers in the government when in fact we were active architects”.
We all do things we regret while at work, don’t we? For some of us it is not standing up to a bullying boss, for others it is being that bullying boss, for a few it’s drunken Christmas party shenanigans, and for still others it is – or perhaps should be – voting in favour of a rise in tuition fees after signing a pledge to the electorate to oppose this.
Tell us one of the biggest regrets you have about your working life in the comments or tweet us at @commentisfree and we’ll embed some of our favourites below.
