TIFU by inadvertently getting my boss fired, making life even worse and now maybe getting fired myself

I worked for my employer for about 10 years before my then new boss joined. She had energy and was quite inspiring. Before she came it wasn’t well run and I hadn’t had many opportunities. She came and made some changes and improved how things ran and promoted me into this job. She helped me develop more than anyone else had and I got more confident in my role. She was a great sounding board for me and let me vent when things got bad. Things were really good for a while and our performance improved.

Performance was impacted by the pandemic, lots of people went off sick and there were other difficulties. It became harder. Then my boss got covid and it took a long time for her to get over it. She was still in work but tired and everything seemed harder and performance was slipping. I still vented at her but she didn’t seem to have the energy to listen and I felt unsupported.

One day her boss spoke to me after one of these meetings and I vented to him instead. He asked me about my boss and I told him honestly. I suppose I thought he’d get involved and somehow help get things back to how they were.

He did get involved - by firing her, using my feedback. She’ll have known it was me. I haven’t seen her or contacted her since as we were told not to. I feel too guilty anyway.

It hasn’t got better, it’s now worse and I’m really stressed.

Her boss became my boss while they looked for a replacement. Until I worked for him, I thought he was a good boss, I don’t now.

He hardly spoke to me, just sent emails with demands for more work or more commonly complaints about issues and I realised how much my former boss must have been shielding from me. He never let me bounce ideas of him or vent or even raise a problem unless I had a solution.

A replacement was found but he wasn’t any better and constantly finds fault with me. To be honest, now I’m not surprised. I don’t think I’m doing a good job anymore.

Anyway I’ve just been put on an improvement plan so assume they’re trying to get rid of me too. The way I feel, I’d be happy except that I can’t afford to leave and I haven’t seen any other similar jobs paying what I get.

TL;DR I got rid of my boss to make my life better but instead made it worse and now might also be fired and only myself to blame.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
