My supervisor may fire me from my position on Friday. I am guilty; that I cannot deny. I did not know what I said is 'professionally' unacceptable. Rather learn within the confines of an educational institution than my first job. (And people wonder why I'm nervous to land my first job! One mistake, smallest infraction you don't think about and 'goodbye'. Wat's there to be nervous about, right? one mistake.) At least I can keep it off my resume.
On the flip side, my supervisor is also a friend. He told me in confidence what he told to the other two supervisors when I first received the job. He backed me up and said some nice things about me. Real, heart-felt compliments! I only feel I failed him and have made him look bad. I think that hurts ten times worse than my actual 'slip of the mouth'. And the bigger punishment comes from myself no doubt. It's Monday...the meeting is Friday...that's four days my guilty conscience has to torment me.
