A new employee made a $50k mistake, which was completely reversible, we made her feel better sharing various mistakes we had made including my $1.5M mistake which took almost a week to fix. Lesson? Almost everything is fixable

Ahhhh she used mine! I was the idiot who left out the O in count! Thank goodness I caught it before I sent it! -H

Watching this and your Toodaloo's I wish I'd seen these before I retired. You go Goddess!

I sent out a lot of plans that said "wench" instead of "winch". We use saucy ladies to lift heavy things.

I was supposed to apply a roaming plan to the president’s cell phone before a big trip. I went through the whole process but missed hitting “save” on the last page. She came back with a $1000 phone bill. My boss just laughed and told me to be careful next time!

Head Canon she yelled THATS A WRAP so her dad can come out and do more push ups

If I were to design an E-Mail client, hitting Reply-All would bring up a confirmation window that says "You chose Reply-All. Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to do send this reply to EVERYONE?

I was in an all hands meeting on zoom (with a blurred background) and my husband decided that behind me was the PERFECT place to change out of his work clothes.

The bank I used to work at, you could send up to $4,999,999.00 without any oversight, once you cleared your probation period of 3 months. Mistakes have been made.

I love that gorgeous sweater.

$20k research instrument? That's on the low end for some things. I have a friend who deals in 6- to 7-digit machines, and the users routinely still screw them up.

Thank you for this video because I’ve been out of uni for 3 years and just knowing that I’m not the only one making mistakes at work is somewhat comforting. ❤❤❤

I caught a $20K centrifuge on fire :(

A manager in my group didn’t add a term date for a highly compensated salaried employee and they received pay biweekly for 6 months after they left. The employee called after it happened the first time and second and the manager still didn’t update the term date. They owed the company over 94K by the time it was fixed.

I feel like some of these mistakes need to include the impact it had on the company. For example, destroying a $20,000 equipment for a small company can be detrimental. However, large companies are shipping out hundreds of thousands dollars worth of equipment and $20,000 is just a write off. We once lost 2 items, valued at $180,000 a piece because someone sent it to a construction site instead of the staging office. After the mistake was discovered 2 months later, it was too late because the construction site hauls out all bulky debris on a weekly basis. I’m sure the company just writes off the loss. I also know that $180,000 is what we sell it for. It costs us only $1,000 to produce.

Thank you for all you do.

On a project my coworker deleted what appeared to be a duplicate address book in the email system. A few minutes later people started calling as 500 mailboxes had been deleted!

Our in-house travel coordinator booked my ticket for my flight home for 6 am on a Friday instead of 6 pm after work. I found this out when I got to the airport and found that my ticket that morning had been marked as a no-show...on my BIRTHDAY! I made it home on the flight on standby but it was very stressful!

I've had more than one attorney (from multiple offices) send me documents from someone else's case. When I pointed it out they just told me to delete it. These documents had names, addresses, ssn, etc. Then they wonder why I decided to just do things myself 😐

The Christmas Carol is an excellent example of why work-life balance is important.

I love your jumper!

My coworker accidentally ordered 500 32GB USB keys with micro USB and “normal” USB for laptops that had USB-C ports. We stored them for 3 years and our new laptops have “normal” USB ports as well as USB-C so now we can give them to staff again! (We didn’t want to also buy adapters the first time around)

I love your videos and they help me out alot thank you 💖💖💖

What a happy morning for a loewhaley video ❤

- I was on a photo/video shoot. Had been a very long 2 day shoot where I was starting to loose it. I cracked up laughing so hard over silly situation that developed. Client standing behind me when I farted so loudly. - in previous financial career in the 90’s, accidentally transferred $10 million to the wrong account. It was missing for many days & lost interest on the money for my employer.

Seconding the echo comment.. but I get it.. gotta be intentional about decorating. Once you have stuff on the walls, you'll be fine!

Since it doesn't appear that anyone has said this yet... good for the team in Italy! 💪🏻

7:50 😂 I am a Georgian and thankfull for your delivery

Channel is so helpful💪 Thank You💯

I love these videos 🎉🎉

I once typed 'six' with an E in a message to management. Good thing they had a good sense of humour about it. 😆

While interning at a major national laboratory I accidentally hit reply all on an email that was accidentally sent to all laboratory staff... as did 3,000 others. The system crashed and was down for two days.

thank you, for being you.

I love your extro!!! 😂

Just did a big mistake at work and am not able to move from my bed sulking , thanks for the vid

I remember watching a trial live during the pandemic in which everyone was on Zoom. The prosecutor's face was replaced with that of an anime cat. It was very funny.😁

Did the team in Italy get the benefits after the strike? I hope so.

I am a support contractor for the government. Some time during the covid thing, I joined a Teams meeting where you are muted automatically when you join... out of habit I clicked the mic button again, leaving my mic open. I have my own office space and no one was home, so initially all anyone heard was me farting, burping, scratching my nose, whatever. My wife comes home and into my office, guns blazing, using ever cussword in the book... I mean blasting something... not only did a lot of people tell me "hot mic", they called me to make sure I was okay. Now, every time my wife walks in the room I check my mic status. Talk about embarrassing! I am pretty good about calling out my own mistakes, but that one took the cake! In another instace, we have a marketing company that helps us with a website and an event booth, and we know they overtly rip the goverment off for thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. During the review of the concepts of our booth, I was typing in the chat function to a teammate and I accidentally typed "about time we get our money's worth" in the chat channel for the whole meeting. In the end I said what all the govt was thinking, but wow did I have to explain it away.

Not me, but a co-worker Missed a period in a payroll input that nearly paid the employee a 50,000.00 bonus and not 500.00

4:56 i just got hired to a new job. my boss thinks i'm doing great. and i am trying to spread the idea of "work to live, not live to work" and stop people from working 50-60 hour weeks. my coworkers... we are paid for 40 hours a week, that is what we all put in our time cards (though we're salary... weird), unless the company is going to start offering some incentive to work more hours... like more money... i am going to work as CLOSE to my 40 as i can manage. (sometimes things happen, and you need to stay a little later, but then... you can just go home early the next time you can!)

Caused a strike, that's my favourite one :)

I accidentally got 3 coworkers caught in the desert for a weekend with no food or shelter.

I swear i saw a tik tok a while back of someone getting an excessive amount of diapers 😂

6:23. I want to high five that person!

Love you ❤❤❤❤

This wasn't my mistake, but it's worth repeating. At a large computer firm, an email from a (married) sales guy in the US intended for his girlfriend in the UK (who also worked for this company) instead went to the entire company. The email in question started out rather goopy with lots of amorous talk. After the phrase "Smile for the dickey bird" it went into a very elaborately described BDSM fantasy. The last I'd heard, he'd lost his job, left his wife, and was flying to his girlfriend in the UK. I think the girlfriend was also fired, but I'm not sure. I also don't know how things went between the couple after that.

We once got a mail by someone from HR which was solely gossip, which she had sent to all 6000 employees... Whoopsie! I thinks she was solely reprimanded.

Reply all was the beeeest 😅😂❤

4:31 HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

These need to be a live chat, to get some follow up

Where did you get your sweater?

Yeah these stories need so much more context. Should 5 or so minutes long. So nany questions.

Hahahahaha epic

THhy need to put some sort of safety device on the reply all button!

I disagree with trying to negotiate with your current employer when you have a new job offer. The way I see it is if your current company sees the value in you and didnt give you the raise already (or at least have you on a road map to do so) then they dont care that much about you. If you are mentally already on the way out because you were looking for a new place then you will always be wondering "what if I took the other job" or looking for other jobs. Also when you do that to a company they know you are willing to blackmail them for the money. So they will put things in place to make sure they are ok should you leave (aka they make you dispensable). All of the way around its not a good thing to do. If you are looking and you get an offer then move on. If you are happy then stay and dont look for greener grass.

I had to juggle two carts to carry stuff to a meeting. When I arrived, I discovered my Red Bull exploded and burned out my laptop. Thankfully my boss didn't hassle me and just ordered me a new laptop!

The art of being an adult is fixing whatever you screwed up before anyone finds out you screwed up. Money is a tool, not an objective.

I've always chosen to make work pay for my life and not my whole life!

upsetty spaghetti 🤣

Not my mistake. But at the hotel I work at we have a box measuring160x160x160 cm of pure cement. Or 1.6 meter. It was a mistake on the drawings it was meant to be mm. That is a waste of a good storageroom

4:28. I did this. Hit reply instead of forward. Oops!

Bit of echo in that room.

Reply All instead of Forward with snarky comments 😬

The reply all was definitely on purpose

The audio here is not great

Why are you SHOUTING

I am a work bestie?
