Had too much at a team event and called my (v attractive but married) SM “baby” in front of the team. Do I just not bother showing up next week? 🤦🏼‍♀️

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I was promoted early this year from an assistant “hourly” role to a managerial “salary excempt” role, but my old job hasn’t been replaced and it’s been 5 months. It’s an unfair workload and assisting someone else takes up so much time that I can’t learn and develop in the managerial role. And I find myself constantly working overtime and not getting paid fairly, even with the pay raise I got when I was promoted. I want to send my employer an email saying they’re in violation of FLSA.
