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.
意想不到的道歉
事情發生的時間
我要談談一次我的同事向我道歉的經歷。這件事發生在大約三個月前,我們在工作場所的團隊會議中。
道歉的人是誰
道歉的人是我的同事,名叫Sarah。我們在同一個部門工作,雖然一直保持著專業的關係,但因為一點誤會才導致她這次的道歉。
她為何向你道歉
Sarah道歉的原因是因為我們共同參與的一個項目出現了混亂。她錯誤地認為我沒有完成我的工作部分,這導致項目時間表被延誤。在會議中,她當著團隊的面提出了這件事,讓我感到相當尷尬。然而,會後她發現自己忽略了我寄給她完成工作的郵件,於是立刻來到我桌前,誠懇地為她的疏忽以及未經核實事實就公開提及此事而道歉。
你對此有什麼感受
當她道歉時,我心中有許多複雜的情緒。起初,我有點生氣和尷尬,因為我在同事面前被錯誤指責。但她真誠的道歉讓我感到寬慰和被尊重,也讓我知道她重視我們的工作關係並願意承認錯誤。我對她願意承擔錯誤並彌補過失表示敬意。這件事也讓我學到了溝通清晰和在做出假設前務必再次確認事實的重要性。總體而言,這次道歉幫助我們釋清了誤會,使我們能夠積極地繼續合作,共同有效地完成工作。
