Jared Hall+Follow"I Accidentally Submitted My Boss's Resignation... Oops 😱"You guys... I made THE dumbest mistake of my internship yesterday. It was my last day at work, and I needed to submit my resignation through the company system. Here's where it all went wrong: 1️⃣ My name is exactly the same as my manager's (same first and last name - no middle name to save me) 2️⃣ I logged in, clicked "submit resignation," and... boom 3️⃣ Instead of quitting MY job, I quit MY BOSS'S JOB I had NO IDEA until HR tracked me down today like: "Hey, we noticed [Boss's Name] submitted their resignation yesterday... is this correct?" My face when I realized what happened: 😳➡️😱➡️🤡 Thankfully, they fixed it super quickly, but now I'm forever known as "the intern who tried to fire their boss." #InternLife #WorkMistakes #OfficeBlunders #FunnyWorkStories #CareerFails30Share
April Walsh+FollowMade a $700k mistake at work...Early 20s, first full-time job in business consulting, and... I messed up. 😔 A $700k miscalculation on a client's report — even after double-checking. I felt crushed. I kept thinking: Should I just resign? But mentors reminded me: mistakes happen, especially early on. Owning it, fixing it, and learning fast is what matters most. 💬 Being an immigrant and a first-gen professional, the pressure is huge. But this is part of growing. 🌱 You are not your mistakes. If you've ever made a big error at work, how did you handle it? I'd love to hear your advice. 🙏 #CareerGrowth #WorkMistakes #LearningJourney #FirstJobLessons #StayStrong #JobCareer371Share
