I just answered a small group video call wasted and exhausted after a brutal week. I tried to perform a friendly tone and the voice came out harsh — people asked “are you angry?” and the vibe got awkward.Content-wise I didn’t say anything offensive — it was the tone: tired, smoky, sloppy. I’m freaking out because I care about my job and the guy who called (an intern) is someone I like.I’m exhausted, smoked way too much, can’t sleep, and now I feel like garbage and like I broke something.Do I: 1) say nothing and let it die, 2) text the intern a short fact-check (who heard? was it bad?), or 3) preemptively explain/embarrass myself and make it worse?Also: how do I calm down tonight so I don’t spiral? I really need to sleep. God I'm retarded.
>>34143001yes this is a chatgpt synthesis because i can hardly typehow much information does voice tone carry?who heard this?it is clear i fucked up. I dont feel like i can have dinner i can barely drink water right now im freaking the fucj out
I just need someone to tell me that no one cares.
>>34143001>>34143010>>34143026Bro chat gpt can tell you that you don't need meBut I will say this since I was going to say it anyway before you decided to grovel for confirmation: Never apologize. Especially not to work folk. You're always perfect, if people say you aren't perfect you say - I'm perfect. But bro you weren't perfect I SAW YOU BEING NOT PERFECT you say: I don't know what you're talking about, I'm perfect. You haven't done anything TANGIBLY wrong. You "fucked up" with vibes. Vibes don't get you fired just like that. Related vibes do but one time vibes won't. So relax niggerCorporate America sounds fucking exhausting
>>34143091Repeated**** vibesNot related
>>34143001no if you did nothing wrong it's a them problem and not a you problem. apologizing is weak>>34143026they may well care big fucking deal. let them
>>34143010>this is a chatgpt synthesisLmao?More gen z/a/b shenanigans
>>34143001>small group video call wastedWait, you were stoned on the job?
>>34143001"Guys, I had had a lousy day Friday. If I came across as unfriendly, I apologise."All will understand. All will forgive. All will be forgotten
>>34143001It sounds like you did fuck up, but it's very unlikely that you fucked up irreversibly. You need to apologise, and explain. People will get it: everyone knows what having a bad day is like; everyone knows what being tired is like. But you need to say something. If you just leave this hanging, people will assume the worst. Apologising when you have unintentionally and non-maliciously upset someone is the normal thing to do.
