I responded to my managers message on Friday night letting them know I had left early due to an hour commute and having to take my meds on time, thanking me for having me there and for the night in general.

Now Monday morning, I’ve received a text from said manager saying they’ve paid $300 per head and I should’ve given a heads up if I knew I wasn’t going to stay until dinner/the whole event.

Now I’m feeling guilty and feel like it’s going to be awks next time I see manager in the office. FML.

TLDR: I have to take meds on time (8pm), EOFY party was from 5:30-9pm, I left at 7pm for 1 hour commute home, manager texted me asking if everything is ok.

Am I overthinking this or is my manager mad at me for leaving early? They saw me having a few drinks and mingling with other colleagues, I started this role 3 months ago so I’m still new to the team but this is the first time I’ve had a manager message me after I’ve left.

I said bye and explained my reasons to the colleagues I’m more closer with, I did want to say bye to the managers/directors but they were all tipsy corporate talking and I just didn’t want to disrupt that idk. I can see where this might be the fault though.

Idk if this helps but I’m an admin so I highly doubt my presence mattered that much to begin with

Food for thoughts???
