What's the Worst Thing You Did in Your Career... and Got Away With?

Okay, here’s my confession... 🙈 A few years ago, I needed approval for a reimbursement bill, but I was in a rush and knew my boss wouldn’t be around for a few days. So, I took matters into my own hands and signed my boss’s name on the approval form. 😬 Honestly, at the time, I thought it was no big deal – the paperwork got approved, I got my reimbursement, and it was all smooth sailing. But now, looking back, I realize how immature and risky that was! 🤦‍♂️ I didn’t get caught, but it was a total “what was I thinking?” moment. Anyone else ever pulled off something like this in their career... and got away with it? Or am I the only one who still cringes at this? 😅 #ConfessionTime #CareerMistakes #WorkBlunders

I once fudged some sales numbers during a presentation because I hadn’t met my targets. No one double checked, and the client was happy, so I walked away scot free. Not proud, but sometimes you have to fake it to make it, right? Anyone else think it’s just part of surviving corporate life?

I once ‘accidentally’ forgot to mention a bug in a release because fixing it would’ve delayed the project. No one noticed for months, and by then, it was too late to make a fuss. I feel guilty noww
