Years ago, back in 2006, I was with my boss at the time looking for a location for a new branch of the company. I felt a little uncomfortable because he seemed very serious. So, I decided to text a coworker and friend, “I'm with my boss and he's in a bad mood.” I was surprised he didn't reply, but suddenly my boss received a message, read it, and looked at me in amazement. I was even more surprised because I didn't understand why he was looking at me like that. Suddenly he said, “Is this your number? Did you send me this message?” When I was about to say “no,” I realized I had sent it to him instead of my friend. I wanted the ground to swallow me up. My boss told me it was grounds for dismissal, but he let it go. He didn't fire me, but I spent several days feeling embarrassed.
