How can I apologize to my boss? I got caught on the cameras watching TV when I was supposed to be working, and I feel bad because my boss is super lenient anyway. He usually doesn't mind what I do as long as everything runs smoothly, but I messed up this time. What's the best way to apologize besides just saying sorry?

Let him know you just needed a break but you realize watching tv is probably not the way to take that break. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)
