Yikes! I totally missed a KO this morning due to online cal issues. I didn’t say that to my manager because it just sounds like a lame excuse. Just apologized and insisted it’ll never happen again. She seemed to move on from it but I can’t help but spiral. I had an overwhelmingly positive review just last week but now I’m obsessing over how this one hiccup has totally negated all of that 😭😭😭 has anyone here been in hot water for this

ALWAYS blame the calendar app lol it happens to the best of us

Also would you give your coworkers grace if they made a minor mistake like that? Chances are the answer is yes, so make sure you’re giving equal grace to yourself. And remember, this is advertising. Nothing we do is that serious.

Ive attended an infinite amount of KOs that could have just been an email with the brief attached. Imagine you’ll be good!

Agree that the deadlines are the more important thing. Calendar shit happens. Try not to stress and just do the work.

Not a big deal in the slightest. Enjoy your weekend!

Relax. I would never get bothered by something like this if it was someone on my team. Their value is the effort and the work they put out the rest of the time. Your boss doesn’t care about the formalities like that, we hate ‘em too. Just do the work.

I totally understand that you’re feeling worried but this is absolutely not a big deal. You’ll get your brief and go from there. Nothing to think twice about.

Feel your feelings. They will change in three days.

If it makes you feel better, I sometimes purposely skip the KO briefs. They’re hour long meetings that should be 15 mins. It’s not that complicated, I have better things to do and if I have any questions, Teams exists.

Don’t dwell or draw any more attention to it! Move on fast. You were accountable and that’s what counts. They’ve probably forgot already so don’t remind them by dwelling on it.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
