I only accept apologies in Uber Eats vouchers

I only accept apologies in Uber Eats.
Hi cyberbugs,
If you’ve ever felt the crushing feeling of making a mistake at work, let me put your mind at ease. You know the mega global IT outage caused by a CrowdStrike update on Friday that means I have to get to Luton airport 3 hours early for my flight to Croatia today? Well, it’s expected to cost their partner companies across the US an estimated £4.2 billion, and as a “Sorry, we fucked up.” CrowdStrike is offering them each a £10 Uber Eats voucher.
The apology email to partners included the line “apologies for the inconvenience.” So anytime you make a mistake under £4.2 billion, remember it’ll only require an “Oops! 🤪”.
This issue you’ve got the opportunity to submit a t-shirt design and we’ll put it up on the merch store!! You can read (not mine, for once!) Mateo and Bertie’s experiences working here at Really Good Culture and see the new brands dropping on Watch Humans Try It! Also cool side hustles, and a truly cringey Ibiza work story.
A lovely selection of jobs, as always, at the bottom.
Love, Isobel xox Editor of GJFBP

The Worst Work Story: Revealed
“I went on a work trip to Ibiza, a great start to any story. Reflecting on this situ there’s no way this was gonna NOT end up in embarrassment. There’s a group of us from work and one lad who I have a bit of a crush on. We get there, everyone’s buzzing and we’re off to a party at a hotel by the beach. I’m feeling super cute, the party is great, we’re getting the drinks in and dancing. I’m chatting with some people, my boss and a few of the lads (inc the guy I fancy) by the pool and in my drunken state suggest we all jump in the pool together. I’m trying to hype everyone up and end up taking off my top, throwing it down and jump in the pool thinking people would follow. They didn’t. I jumped in the pool alone, got a sorry ass cheer from them, and had to crawl out soaking wet. Why am I like this, so cringee. 😫”
