Echoes of Error

Echoes of Error

Act 1: At The Client Office Entrance

Scene: A bustling corporate office lobby, with employees entering and exiting. The protagonist, John, nervously walks in with a briefcase in hand, glancing at his watch.

John: (to himself) Right on time. (checks his phone)

Ping! A notification pops up on John's phone. He opens it to find a message from Sarah, a senior leader in his organization.

Sarah's Message: Urgent! Potential error in email to client CEO. Its high time, you should write your resignation now.

John: (bewildered) What? (replies hurriedly) I just arrived at another client location and have a presentation.

John looks around, noticing curious glances from the receptionist and other employees passing by.

Receptionist: (curiously) Is everything okay, John?

John: (forces a smile) Yes, just some work stuff. Thanks.

John walks briskly towards the elevators, mind racing with questions and confusion.

Act 2: But What Did I Do?

Scene: Inside the elevator, John frantically taps away on his phone, trying to get more information from another colleague - Mandy.

John: (muttering) Come on, Mandy, respond.

Ping! Another message arrives from Sarah. It's super sad to see some people unable to live upto expectations. This is serious and as an organization we cannot be silent.

Ping! Another message arrives from Mandy. She tells a that a client received an email with incorrect email address of their CEO.

John: (to himself) What could have gone wrong? It wasn't even my task.

The elevator doors open, and John steps out onto the client's floor. He heads towards his meeting room, trying to compose himself.

John: (thinking) I'll just go in, handle the meeting, and sort this out later.

Just then, John's phone buzzes again. It's Sarah.

Ping! A message from another Leader Bill There's been a mistake, John but it wasn't your fault.

John: (confused) Whose fault was it then?

Bill's reply is delayed, leaving John even more uneasy as he enters the meeting room.


Have you experienced this?

What was your reaction?

How did you calm yourself?

Did you resign after this?

Did it affect your relationship with the leader {Sarah}?

The irony is that both these acts are so true and everyday one or the other employee goes through this though the intensity and scale might be different. Agreed that errors of such scale cause widespread chaos, but at the end of the day you need a motivated workforce to bail you out.Usimg extreme measures at the drop of hat only makes things worse.
