Work party slip up
WEALLLMAKEMISTAKES - Oct 8 2024 at 22:23
During a work party while having a deep conversation me and another employee started kissing. We were both heavily intoxicated. There’s always been a little “tension” with us but never been acted on in anyway shape or form. The issue is they are a supervisor and I am a manager. They don’t directly report to me but I am still a level above. We spoke briefly the next day and it was a regret, not a regret type of deal for both of us because of the work situation. Understanding that it cannot happen again or go beyond the incident, I am struggling with making sure to not make things awkward at work. Part of me says I should reach out to have a conversation them about it but another part of me says that is selfish and would only make things more uncomfortable for them.

Hi and welcome!
Respondents are thin on the ground at the mo. Unless you're happy to wait another day or so for myself or another regular to respond (we're all p/t voluntary), could you please follow traditional forum poster-visitor protocol and, unless you're really not up to it, have a stab at each other's threads first? That would be much appreciated - thank-you. :)
Yes but you're a manager or are you a leader? - there's a difference you know. Take control of this situation & go & speak to this supervisor as a person away from the workplace. Discuss the FACTS & the whys & the whynots. Understand that you're being selfish by allowing it to fester, for the want of a better word, instead of discussing it. Take your thoughts further to also understand that alcohol doesn't lie & that it can't be used as an excuse.
There's a chance that if you let it go to the wayside, one or both of you could end up working elsewhere & don't worry about if your work colleagues know about it or what they think about it because they do know about it but it's none of their business.
