Please reassure me I won't get fired

I'm very anxious and maybe overthinking. A bit of reassurance would help.

I've just started a new job. Fairly senior and big pay rise. I'm having a crisis of confidence.

I had to finish early on Friday to take my child to the doctor's. After he went to bed, I cleared the remainder of my emails as I hate starting a Monday with emails from the previous week. I didn't realise until just now when I've opened my laptop to plan the week ahead, but I've somehow accidentally responded to an email with three people copied in with a single line I'd copied and pasted from an article about self confidence. I have a page on my one note where I record self helpy things and generally successes in work and have somehow copied this into an email rather than copying it to my OneNote page.

It looks like I'm completely mad and I'm really worried about tomorrow. Please tell me this isn't the worst thing in the world!

You are overthinking this.

Email all 3 with a note saying Sorry, copy paste error. Hope you all had a great weekend.

They will think no more of it.

Yeah, this. It’s no big deal.

I would use it as an ice breaker - can't see how or why this would get you inyo trouble

I would just reply to these 3 people ‘Apologies, please disregard last email - wrong recipient’. I don’t think anyone will mention it.

You won't get fired. Personally I'd die of embarrassment though.

It'll be completely fine! They might take the Mickey on Monday but that's the absolute worst case I'd imagine.

Can you recall the email?
