My manager made a meeting for what appeared to be outside of work hours (7:30am). I totally forgot I was in central time even though my job/permanent location is in eastern time. My work calendar reflected central time, not eastern time when I was traveling, of course. I kinda freaked out and totally forgot that I was in central time.
I sent an email replying with “I noticed this is outside contracted business hours, is there a way that we can make the meeting later?”
My manager responded with “It says 8:30am on my calendar, you must be in a different time zone”
Then it hit me. Oops. I apologized immediately via email and mentioned I forgot I was in a different time zone.
He didn't seem to be upset and our meeting today went well without any mentioning of it. Could this make me look bad/ get in trouble/ fired? Did it seem to just slide over?
