Nor should they. For an Apprentice candidate, a boardroom rollocking is an integral part of your experience.

Your job is to sit there and suck it up, as the big man informs you you've made a right hash of your latest task, that you contributed nothing, that you were negative and disruptive, that your mother looks like a horse (OK, he tends not to use that last one). Provided it doesn't finish with you being fired, you can look upon it as character building.
