An unexpected apology
When it was
I'm going to talk about a time when my colleague apologized to me. This happened about three months ago at my workplace during a team meeting.
Who this person is
The person who apologized is a co-worker of mine named Sarah. We work in the same department, and although we have always had a professional relationship, we had a bit of a misunderstanding that led to this apology.
Why he or she apologized to you
The reason Sarah apologized was because of a mix-up with a project we were both working on. She had mistakenly assumed that I had not completed my part of the work, which led to a delay in the project timeline. During the meeting, she brought this up in front of our team, which was quite embarrassing for me. However, after the meeting, she realized that she had overlooked my email where I had sent her the completed work. She came to my desk immediately after and sincerely apologized for the oversight and for bringing it up publicly without verifying the facts.
And how you felt about it
I felt a mix of emotions when she apologized. Initially, I was a bit upset and embarrassed because I was wrongly accused in front of my colleagues. However, her genuine apology made me feel relieved and appreciated. It showed me that she valued our working relationship and was willing to admit her mistake. I respected her more for owning up to the error and making amends. It also taught me the importance of clear communication and double-checking facts before making assumptions. Overall, the apology helped to clear the air between us, and we were able to move forward positively, continuing to work effectively as a team.
一个意想不到的道歉
时间地点
我要讲的是我同事向我道歉的一次经历。大约三个月前,在我们公司的一个团队会议上发生了这件事。
这个人是谁
道歉的是我的一位同事,名叫Sarah。我们在同一个部门工作,虽然一直保持着职业关系,但由于一些误会,促成了这次道歉。
她为什么向你道歉
Sarah道歉的原因是因为我们共同参与的一个项目出现了混乱。她错误地认为我没有完成我的部分工作,导致项目时间表延误。在会议上,她当众提到了这件事,这让我感到非常尴尬。然而,会议结束后,她意识到自己忽略了我发送给她的完成工作邮件。她随即来到我办公桌前,真诚地为自己的疏忽和未经核实事实就公开提起这件事道歉。
你的感受
当她道歉时,我心情复杂。起初,我有些生气和尴尬,因为我在同事面前被错误指责。然而,她真诚的道歉让我感到宽慰和被重视。她的举动表明她珍惜我们的工作关系,也愿意承认错误。我因此更加尊重她,认可她的担当和弥补过失。这次经历也让我明白了清晰沟通和核实事实的重要性。总的来说,这次道歉化解了我们之间的误会,我们能够积极向前,继续有效地作为团队合作。
