Sorry that will be a feeling just be patient with them.

This is unfair. It's a mistake not intentionally

There is more to this than just breaking a glass ,apologize let them decide and move on

Did you do it intentionally? If not try to convince them that what happened was an accident. Let them understand that accidents are not preventable... and it as well happens unexpectedly. more

It depends on what terms you have been with the director or the kind of your personality among them .To calm the situation just take it and pay for... the glass and have move normal more

Hi 👋 I'm very impressed by your profile and personality. All the posts on your timeline are great, and I also appreciate your sense of humor here. I... don't usually write reviews, but I think I deserve such a compliment... I wish I could be your boyfriend. I've tried sending you a friend request many times, but they've all failed. Please send me a friend request so we can be good friends. Thank you. Stay safe and happy... more

you embarrassed your boss in front of important clients. you should probably find a new job and fast

If you are let go, it isn't going to for breaking a champagne glass. That incident was just an easy scapegoat that serves to ease everyone else's... anxiety about confronting whatever the real reason is.

I'm not saying that the real reason is any more valid than what you're attributing it to be, or pretending that I know anything at all about your coworkers or your relationships with them so as to understand the tone they seem to have taken with you.

It's just that human beings are notorious for this exact flavor of cop out in the face of conflict. Many will find it easier to blame an embarrassing champagne mishap than deliver critical feedback because that kind of honesty requires an uncomfortable degree of vulnerability that most people aren't able or willing to demonstrate in a work setting.

Anyway, sorry duder. That situation sounds really awful. But if you do end up getting fired in the near term, it's definitely not about the champagne.  more

Lesson don't need champagne to show appreciation, use a more meaningful way, a NEW WAY,I wouldn't get rid of a good employee I would get rid of the... old archaic way of doing things 😀.  more

First, I will be very angry about this incident. Negligence to it might arise. When cooling down and coming to an understanding will let go but with a... little punishment not firing, maybe demotion for a period of time monitoring/ probation for at least 2 months. My take. more

Your reaction to the incident as it happened has a lot to do with the perception. Were you tipsy, sloshed & or operating in your normal professional... manner. Depending on the level arrogance at this event I would gauge what my next action would be. A card for him and nice flowers for her with a note “Please Excuse My Clumsiness Last Night”
I Am Blessed To Have Met You Regardless Of What Mishaps Happened Last Night. Looking Forward To Meeting Again & Continuing Our Interaction & Relationship Building Conversation. Thank You Again For Your Sincere Understanding.”

It’s not an ego thing but more about them than about you. What you do next will set the direction from this point forward. It may even boost your production, growth gross profit, mental awareness, etc.
Things like this happens to everyone. Who knows why? But if you fall, you will fall forward! Believe That! Gods got you covered! more

you need to detail more of this story was the champagne there because a deal was sealed. who was the champagne spilled on / the clients, coworkers... etc. What is your company's policy of alcohol in the workplace. who supplied the champagne. theres a lot of moving parts here. more

It depends on your employer

depending on your state, legally they might not even be able to deduct the cost of the cup from your pay. definitely look into the laws surrounding... that before you agree to pay any such thing.
frankly, it's embarrassing for them to be so desperate and broke to demand such a petty expense from you at all.
if the company is on such shaky legs that an, at most, $15 glass is breaking the bank, you need to be looking dor a new job anyway. their inability to deal with such an entry level setback is your red flag to reassess their capabilities of handling literally any other issue, regardless of fault, and their ability to provide stability for you. unfortunately, even if they cannot legally fire you for such a small and ultimately rather insignificant event, the fact that you feel like they are planning to fire you is your #1 sign to start searching for greener pastures. the company does not care about you - and if you have a gut feeling, your best bet is to quit while youre ahead.  more

Can’t fire you for that. Must have cause. Accidental breaking of a glass in a meeting is not sufficient for cause. Cause must involve some sort of... malice or act of moral turpitude.  more

It is unfortunate but these things happen. Your director was embarrassed and did not know the next step. You and/or your colleagues in the meeting... could have grabbed some dry towels, quickly pick up big pieces and mop up the liquid and spread dry towels and the meeting could have resumed. If you had another conference room that was empty, meeting could have moved there.
But the director was embarrassed, the meeting was interrupted and sometimes the client may think of other objections and the sale may be lost.
You owe your boss and the client an apology. As far as your job is concerned, I am assuming you are valuable enough to the organization that a firing may not even come to their minds.
A reprimand may be and you should accept it graciously.
Good luck and be careful with champagne. Stop drinking long before you start feeling tipsy.

If they fire you- thank them! This place is not conducive to free thinking, critical thinking, benevolence, second chances, or anything else that puts... human value first. This bunch adores money, not people. more
