Send out a work meeting invite to multiple partners and got the dates and time wrong twice... one of the partner came by and said “I think you meant to set it as tomorrow instead of today”. I am f*ed

No you’re not. This is a non-issue. Just pay more attention next time.

Best advice is to not make it into a big deal, apologize, own up, and move on, it happens.

I just told an MD his documentation was insufficient. Turns out he hid all the cells and I didn’t notice. Don’t be yourself up! Could be worse 😅

Don’t beat yourself up too badly

You’re fine; it happens. Apologize at the meeting
next time pay attention to the details and double-check the invite.

I always do an extra review when I send things to my boss.

You think they have time to dwell on non-issues such as this??

It will be a big deal if you make it a big deal. Sounds like you learned from this, so there’s nothing more to do. Onward and upward

Happens to everyone, and it’ll happen to you again! Double check next time, but don’t sweat it too much.

@Sc2, I’d show the MD how to group cells and not hide them. Hiding creates problems. I’ve regularly found things in hidden cells that I shouldn’t have seen. Way better to group, you know what’s there.

I find grouping obnoxious. Groups of groups of groups.

So just had my first Amazon interview interaction the other day and its BS.

Why would you make people waste so much time on your stupid assessments before asking expected salary range?!

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
