Lmao this is golden OP. What level are you? I’m sure your team will laugh about it and don’t think much of it.
This is amazing and I’m so grateful you shared it with your FB brethren
Good thing you presumably are not a man. Otherwise you’d likely have to deal with a sexual harassment complaint.
Wow, regular reminder that when my coworkers tell me I’m talking too loudly after drinking that I should stop drinking so this doesn’t happen.
Walk in Monday morning like nothing happened, but then call everyone else ‘baby’ constantly
OP double down or bust
This, kids, is why you don’t have “too much” at team events.
OP, you are fine. Don’t remind anyone and just pretend nothing happened. I’m certain people will forget soon.
Ignore comments to drink less at team events. Drink MORE. Power on. Only good things can happen when you drink to your full potential.
Are you shtupping? If not, no harm, no foul but I’d apologize to him one on one.
I would definitely go directly to the individual and apologize and acknowledge what you said. The best way to build your credibility back is to own the mistake, and vow not to repeat. I would also put it in writing following the conversation. Something like “thank you for discussing my mistake today, I appreciated that you accepted my apology and can ensure you that it won’t be repeated.” Own up, handle it, and then you can move on. If there were others who say/heard. I apologize to them too.
Accidentally saying “I love you at the end of the call” can easily happen. Fortunately I’ve always caught myself before it happened, but I have txted my OA by mistake instead of my gf. I think most people just laugh and realize it’s an innocent mistake. What the OP describes sounds a bit different and likely more of a Freudian Slip. What the response should be really depends more on the subtle context
Apologize 1-1
Don't do it again
Move on
Aaaand now I’m going to just not drink more than one glass of wine at team events. Yikes.
Jesus.
I agree with folks saying forget it, don’t mention it, don’t do it again.
Also while you had too much, I’m sure the others were also drinking right? So maybe they won’t remember or will be forgiving.
And maybe I’m the only one but depending on context, baby could just be a slip of tongue... more like “sweetie” and less like “sexy”. Now a “hey sexy” would be bad.
Also, would u be this embarrassed of the sm was not attractive to you? I’m guessing not. It’s like ur inner thoughts are exposed. So if you are appropriate from now on then I don’t think it’s a biggie. Ppl may not even know u find him attractive. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah OP nothing major will happen I don’t think. Not to sound like your parents but come on dude don’t drink that much.
It feels similar to ending a work call by saying “I love you.” Obviously not intended.
This is how I interpret the event described:
Oh beee-have!
Wow it’s really NBD unless you have a really overly-PC team. I mean, calling someone “baby” as an offhand comment? Wow there are so many worse things you can do. People really need to chill.
Um no
OP, did you smash?
So that's a challenge not accepted?
I did a similar thing earlier in my career. Just pretend it didn’t happen, and it’ll go away. However if you do this again YOU ARE TOAST
Yup, solid gold here, OP. What happened to the workplace mishaps thread? That was good.
Also, don’t worry, OP. No one will care in a day or two.
