Linked the wrong spreadsheet to my boss in Slack and got a talk about how if “we don’t do our best work, our jobs are on the line as the recession looms.” Is this overkill or am I overreacting?

"Boss". That is a 1950s terminology used to instill fear in wage earners. You should refer to them as a manager. And your manager sounds like an ill-trained overpaid hack

But still…he’s not a good person if he’s like this. Ppl like this are NOT to be trusted.

Absolutely overkill... they are worried about their job and you taking their job when cutting costs starts happening lol - they want to pin you down, assuming this doesn't happen frequently. Not a big deal, keep networking & don't give them the satisfaction of your reaction, just say "thank you for the feedback, it won't happen again" - and act normal. Always Be ready to jump to better opportunities.

Pattern of missing attachments in emails or multiple messages to get the correct file? Valid feedback
One time mistake? Toxic

likehelpful

Valid to give feedback if it’s happened multiple times. But this feedback specifically? Yeah no, I don’t think so.

Stuff like this is why you should always be networking even during good times. You need to have the connections in place anytime surprise threats like this happen or people try some funny stuff. We all work for ourselves at the end of the day. You shouldn't have to live in fear of being fired. You need to get a skill set so in demand that they will be in fear that you'll leave.
