I work as a PA. I invited the wrong person to a meeting, that is happening in 3 weeks time. The surnames different by 1 letter.
the PA of this person, forwarded on to the correct one, and in that time I also realised the mistake - within 3 minutes, so I sent to the correct one and removing the right one.
my manager messaged me saying ‘I think you’ve invited the wrong x to the meeting on the 16th!’
I replied ‘Sorry, I did notice straight away and changed it. Their names are so similar! - as for the other meeting on that date, I was told we couldn’t do it in person and would need to be virtual but we thought maybe the follow up could be in person.’ and she said “let’s discuss tomorrow”
because the invite didn’t update the names correctly, I’m worried she thinks I’m a liar and she wants to discuss this tomorrow, I feel sick.
I suffer with anxiety and OCD and I never want to do wrong, she called me a superstar on Friday and I got an excellent rating last year.
I HATE MISTAKES AND IM WORRIED! It’s making me not want to go in tomorrow 😢
