Most workers know the feeling of waking up from a deep nap and needing a few seconds to remember what day, or even what time, it is. But for one employee chasing a promotion, that groggy confusion turned into a full-blown panic and an awkward call to his boss that thousands of Reddit users found hilariously relatable.
The story, shared on Reddit's r/work community under the title "Embarrassing moment today after work….", came from a user who said he had been "gunning for a supervisor position" and had been "doing a fantastic job absolutely killing it." While he enjoys the challenge of the role, he admitted the workload has also been "pretty damn stressful."
