Invalid recipient
One of the shameful situations at work may appear, it would seem not offensive at first glance, an email. But the whole point is that this letter carries a very compromising content. For example, you described in it all your negative attitude towards a colleague at work, or, worse, the boss. And instead of throwing it to his friend, they made a mistake by e-mail and sent to their oppressor (for example, they have the same names).
Do not immediately write a statement of resignation or hysterically run home in the hope that the next day it will all be forgotten.
Best of all, as soon as you realized that this is not the case, immediately send a second letter to the same addressee with the note "Open this letter first! ". In this letter you should apologize and explain that a huge misunderstanding occurred, and the previous electronic message was intended for a completely different person. Therefore, you ask him not to open, but simply delete it. Of course, one hundred percent guarantee that the addressee will do so, no one can give, but the attempt, as is known, can solve a lot.
Straightness is your enemy
You at work were refused such a long-awaited and desired vacation. And in a flash you expressed to your leader everything that you think about him and his office. After that, of course, you immediately regretted what you did.
In this situation, you should not be immediately scared and run away, because it will not be worse than it is.
Just try to explain that you got excited, and in general, that you have PMS. You can also add that you have been working very hard lately and because of this you have nervous overstrain. After these excuses you just have to wait, what will happen next. But remember that criticism from the subordinate sometimes goes to the authorities for good.
Random setup
You do not have time to do your work in the right time, and the boss calls you "on the carpet." You are struggling to explain why it happened and inadvertently in your explanatory speech mention the name of a colleague who is in the same situation. Now your colleague is threatened with reprimand. Of course, not at all, but you set it up.
The main thing in this situation is not to justify it to a colleague that it was not you saying that her project is only at the initial stage, but should be ready for tomorrow. The boss will still dot the "I".
Best of all, as soon as you leave the boss, call your colleague and explain everything as is. Only a sincere conversation can soften your shameful actions.
My tongue is my enemy
You and your colleagues gathered at your favorite place for gossip and this time you decided to talk about a new colleague who, for example, does not know how to dress with taste. But completely immersed in the conversation, you did not even notice how this newcomer came up behind and was able to catch the "lion's share" of your speech.
You do not need to continue your conversation, pretending that nothing happened. We do not advise you even to apologize and punish yourself for these shameful words. The offended colleague can simply think that this is your true opinion of her, and you are afraid that everything has gone so ridiculously.
You just need to masterfully get out of the situation. Tell me that you are discussing the topic of how a person's mood depends on his style of clothes. Put emphasis on the fact that this colleague served as a good example in your discussion. Do not be stingy in her address a flattering compliment.
Inconsistent faux pas
A new customer has come to your office and sent to you. And she, as luck would have, plump and has a noticeable tummy. You, because of your curiosity, decided to ask what month she is, or what sex her future baby is. But in fact, the girl is not pregnant and you very much hurt her for living, thereby risking to break the deal.
One apology here will not help. You just can soon talk with her about the most effective diets (which, perhaps, you tried it yourself), thereby establishing contact with her and hiding this ridiculous situation.
AWOL
During the working day you decided to go to the nearest store and buy something for yourself. But, as luck would have it, there is a complete blockage at work. And you had to go to the trick and tell the boss that you have an urgent business meeting. After these words of yours, he let you go on "all four sides." And so, walking around the store, you stumble upon it, your employer.
There is no point in hiding behind people's backs. Just explain to him that the meeting broke, and you decided, as long as there is a free minute, to drop by the store. The main thing here is to fill the boss with the details and at the same time to remain completely calm.
Unsuccessful Corporative
During the office party you obviously drank, and not just drunk, but completely lost your sense of proportion. And before this simply was not. Your colleagues led by the boss summoned a taxi for you, with the help of the team put you in a car and sent home. Everything ended well, but how to look into the eyes of colleagues and superiors?
Of course, it will not be possible to avoid meeting with colleagues. Yes, and look into their eyes through rose-colored glasses too. Just explain to them that you have never been this before, and in general you are very weak and quickly get drunk. And henceforth know the sense of proportion in any situation.
All the blame for fashion
The absurd situations at work can touch absolutely everything, and even your new purchases. For example, you bought a charming branded handbag, which was admired by your colleagues. You just piled a heap of questions, where and for how much did you buy it? In such a situation and cheat hunting. And you said its inflated price, and after a couple of days your colleague bought the same handbag for a whole state less.
Do not try to prove at all that you took it for "your price". Just learn to recognize your mistakes and tell the truth. The main thing here is your sincere smile. By the way, next time, before you voice your fantasies, think about the consequences - so that it would not be embarrassing at work, you need to be extremely cautious. This is the only way to avoid shameful situations at work.
