As the wise Hannah Montana once said: "Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." The employee in this story left work keys used by all employees in a different spot than usual during one of their shifts, and the fallout was a team-wide email to 90 people calling them out on their slip-up. What happened to being cordial, to settling things before taking it to upper management? It seems like everyone wants to be a management pet nowadays. We underlings have to stick together, you know?
In all seriousness, misplacing keys isn't a big deal, especially if it's not a repeated offense. Do the employee's coworkers have the right to be a bit annoyed and reach out to him? Of course—but privately. They are well aware of the schedule and who likely had access to the set of keys last, so this email chain has got to be a power play of some sort.
The employee ends the tale with the sentiment that they likely won't be in trouble, but they are wondering about the next steps regarding the situation. To speak, or not to speak—that is the question. What would you do if you were in their position? Scroll to read the full story below.
