Presented wrong numbers and half baked story to my GM 😂, boss pulled me up and told me to make sure I don’t repeat such mistakes and come better prepared for the meeting
This was some time back.
I was talking to another teammate when the client was on call and I was sharing my screen.
I was telling the teammate how the client just won't understand lol. Yes I wrote lol.
He was very nice though. He just said you are sharing your screen. But nothing else.
Lol. Lucky that you got no escalations 😂
Not documenting items discussed in meetings with emails / slack messages. 3-4 weeks later, colleagues said “We were not told X item is to be done as well. This is new item and we can’t do it.” Looked bad in front of my boss. Learnt my lesson :) A Product Manager has to be good at Project Management too! Be paranoid and over communicate.
Befriending my boss. Things went sour, and I had no choice but to leave. Learnt from my mistakes, and now I’m fine keeping my coworkers at an arms length.
We have all been told by our managers… Speak freely. It’s confidential, we’re working on YOUR growth plan. We have been gullible to believe it. What are your top mistakes and top things that you should have not told your manager?
I just referred to my manager as an idiot to another colleague on WhatsApp web without realising I was sharing my screen. 🥲
And they(not my manager but my teammates) most probably know it's me. I'm so stupid. They'll probably hate me and refuse to work with me now. Man, I really need to be NOT dumb at work lmao. I feel so bad and it was an honest mistake:(((
