One time several years ago, I accidentally overslept during my first week on the job. When I woke up, it was nearly noon and my new manager had begun to worry something very bad had happened to me. There was nothing to do but tell the truth and swear that it was unlike me (it was) and that I’d never do it again (I didn’t). Incredibly embarrassing and my stomach still drops a little thinking of it, but after a week no one ever mentioned it again.
It was the last day of my first internship. A few months prior, I wrote a critical Glassdoor review of the company because I was not having a good experience at all as an intern (company was a toxic work environment in multiple ways).
On my very last day, my Glassdoor review was circulating around the office via printouts, execs were all searching for who wrote the review. Oops.
The entire day went in slow motion and it felt like my heart was going to explode; I had to carry on with a straight face while this very strange witch hunt (for me) went on around me.
Made it thru the day but crashed from all the adrenaline the moment I got to my apartment. Ended up sleeping until the next morning. Never left another Glassdoor review before leaving a company ever again!

Wow but your instincts about that place were right. Terrible behavior from the company, I’m glad you warned people with the review.
On my second week at work, I ended up at the wrong airport and was 6 hours late to the client’s.
Full-blown panic attack that lasted for two hours. Medics came and it happened on a floor where leadership worked.
