TIFU by uploading my private 'roast' notes about coworkers to the company shared drive

This is peak me energy and entirely my fault. I was helping a friend prepare for a small, private roast we were doing at a weekend party. I wrote a bunch of dumb, exaggerated jokes about everything from my friend Ben's addiction to terrible coffee to my manager's obsession with color-coordinated spreadsheets. All of it was meant to be playful and was stored in a file named something like "Team Roast - Final.docx" on my laptop.

Fast forward to yesterday: I was cleaning up my cluttered Google Drive between meetings and decided to consolidate things. I opened the folder structure, saw a folder called "Projects - Shared" and because I was half paying attention and sprinting to my next meeting, I dragged the roast file into that folder instead of my personal folder. I realized what I did about five minutes later when I saw the little blue preview pop up in the Drive activity feed that shows who opened what. One of my coworkers had clicked it out of curiosity and left a laughing reaction.

Before I could yank it back, my manager had also clicked. He pinged me in chat asking if I wanted to talk. I knew what was coming, so I owned it immediately in the meeting: explained it was for a private roast, apologized for the poor judgment of keeping identifiable jokes, and offered to delete the file and apologize to anyone I had offended. HR asked to sit in on a follow up because some of the jokes crossed a line around personal habits. To their credit, my team mostly laughed, Ben took it like a champ after I explained context, but HR made me sit through a short retraining on professional conduct and file handling. I also had to write a short note to the team apologizing for my lapse in judgment and accidentally sharing private material in a public workspace.

So yeah, the immediate damage was more embarrassment and an awkward HR box checked than any real fallout, but I feel like an idiot. I could have avoided the whole thing by double checking where I was dragging files, or by keeping roast notes in an offline notepad until the joke was delivered. Also, naming a private joke file with "Team" in the title was not my brightest move.

TL;DR: I accidentally uploaded private roast notes that named coworkers to a company shared drive, my manager and coworkers saw it, HR made me do retraining, and I had to apologize. Entirely my fault for sloppy file management and terrible naming choices.
