I would report it - it’s a toxic practice that shouldn’t be acceptable since it’s just understating your firm’s revenues and causing inappropriate expectations for years to come

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in.

I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.
