Can ya’ll tell me about a time you messed up at work? I want to feel better.

I had completely forgotten our policy to have management sign receipts over $200. I was working on autopilot and barely even remember the return. All I know is that they had a receipt so I just processed it without thinking. I forgot to tell my manager to sign it ughhhh.

Anyway I got scolded and I’m embarrassed now. Lost prevention got mad about it (it was a legit return with our tags attached and they had a freaking receipt. They had just purchased the items two days ago.)

My gm told me next time this happens it’s a write up. I’ve never been written up or scolded seriously and it made me sad. 😔

Feeling like an idiot because I completely forgot in the moment.

Anyone else have a supportive spouse until it’s time for summer?

I keep hearing comments about how I’m home all day and it must be nice. Smh. Mind you I work a summer part time job to help with savings. He also clearly thinks it’s an easy job. He’s in management and I’m a middle schooler teacher.

Ugh.

I guess he’s having a bad day at work today. I asked how he was doing and he said he’ll be fine. Then I said I was done at the gym and I’ll be home when he gets home. He says “I bet.” As if I’m always at home and or doing nothing.

Gets me so annoyed. He’s in retail management. Equally hard job but he claims he works physically harder than me and therefore his job is harder.

I just know he couldn’t do my job at all.

Update: he is not the grumpiest man alive I promise. This man has dumped hundreds if not over a thousand on things for my classroom to support me and make sure I have everything I want or need to teach the 2026-2027 school year. Including a nice colored printer. He wants me to be a teacher and has stood beside me. He is allowed to be jealous once in a while when he’s having a bad day at work.
