Having a bit of panic this morning. I sent a very draft report out prematurely to stakeholders and it upset my team. We hadn’t discussed the format in depth and they were very annoyed. I sent a follow up email to group to apologize for the confusion and to disregard. My group chat with my team is blowing up with messages about how better communication needs to be had which I responded in agreement and with sincere apologies.

You’ll be alright these things blow over. People sometimes take these chances to “pile it on” and overreact but give it another day and everyone will forget it happened

Piling it on was the most proper term for this and boy does it trigger 😑

Will anyone die because of it? No? Okay, then it’s not actually that big of a deal. Things get overblown so easily in this industry.

Mistakes happen especially when you’re not as familiar with a project as some of your teammates. It’ll pass, but sounds like you’ve taken accountability so not much let to be done there. I’m sorry it got you feeling panicked though! It happens to everyone at one point or another 😁

If you acknowledged it and apologized, forgive yourself. This is nowhere near the worst mistake the people harassing you have likely made and it sounds like it was inconvenient but not a corporate-reportable event. Chances are they bet on the Bengals and their crankiness has nothing to do wth you.

Everyone makes mistakes, everything is going to be ok. Remember that it is most likely a MUCH bigger deal in your head than in the stakeholders. Take a deep breath, do some jumping jacks to get this jitters out, this won’t matter a month from now. You got this :)

The key is to not care. It happened, just redirect focus

Continued from above: They kept going about how they’ve had to apologize to their customer who received the draft report and I did the same. I’m new to the project and the team (they’ve been here for years) and doing a great job so far 😬

Thanks everyone for the responses. My nerves have calmed a bit after to reading these. You’re right, it can be much bigger in my head. I just want to perform well so the hiccups feel like they hurt more when the piling on happens. But I can’t dwell on it! I actually did the jumping jacks and that helped quite a bit! 😃

I have learned that it's easier to share the draft docs via SharePoint, where I can work on even after sending the link to "the first draft" or "work in progress draft". So when my superiors come to me saying oh it should have been this or that, I can make updates to it.

Never apologize or admit to anything

First, I’m sorry that happened. Second, don’t apologize because that’s what really brings the teeth out for you. Third, in a year none of this will matter
