A new employee overheard their manager mention that Friday was a coworker's last day, so they organized a goodbye party with cake and a card. They even had the bakery write 'Good luck at your new job' on it. When they presented it during lunch, the coworker looked confused. It turned out she was just temporarily covering their department for a month and was returning to her regular job one floor below. The employee had already started a farewell speech before she explained. The manager couldn't stop laughing, but they all ate the cake. The next day in the elevator, the coworker jokingly asked if they'd throw her another party when she goes on vacation. Have you ever mixed up work gossip and created an awkward situation?
