Got asked this in an interview. What's the appropriate answer? Without sounding you are unwilling to take on work but are able to manage everyones' expectations? What kind of example would you guys give for such a question?

.. no
Haha
I'd spin in to showcase the high-quality of your ethics. Bullshit example: "Working in a class project, a teammate wanted to steal a paper from his friend who took the class last semester. I said NO."
This seems like more of a question they throw at you only hoping you fuck up, not really paying attention to if you actually answer it well. Saying the above should satisfy the interviewer, let them check the box, and move on.
I think he was asking more in the sense if I am given work from lot of associates, would I be able to say No to any of them? Or would I just want to please them all and take all the work. Any advice about that?
This advice is absolute gold, will remember it for other Qs as well, thanks very much for sharing!Sit qui eos ipsa mollitia natus vel cumque. Hic saepe sed repellat fuga expedita.
