I've been dealing with some serious workplace drama lately. My coworker got promoted over me even though I've been here longer and have way more experience, plus they've been making these passive aggressive comments ever since. I was texting my best friend last night to vent about the whole situation. I typed out this long message that ended with "honestly this place is a complete shitshow and I can't wait to find something else" and hit send. Then I see the little notification that says delivered and glance up to see I'm in a text thread with my mananger mike not my friend mike. My friend mike is saved as Mike F but my boss is just Mike and apparently my brain just picked the wrong one.
I immediately felt my soul leave my body. Like that cold wash of panic when you realize you've done something catastrophically stupid. I stared at my phone for probably five full minutes hoping it would somehow unsend itself.
Had to go into work this morning knowing he definitely saw it. Sure enough he pulled me into his office first thing and we had the most awkward conversation of my entire life. He was weirdly cool about it though like just said he appreciated my honesty and asked if there was anything we should talk about. I'm pretty sure I'm on thin ice now but at least
TL;DR: Sent a text calling my workplace a shitshow to my boss instead of my friend. Still employed but barely.
