TIFU by accidentally telling my coworkers I over contributed to my 401(k)
I switched jobs last year and had to reset up my 401(k) at the new job. Well. Something wonky happened to the contributions at my former employer and I wound up contributing more than the max allowed. I had to call the 401(k) company and explain what happened. They didn’t seem to know what to do since I didn’t catch it until tax day.
I had to have this conversation during the day and I work in a lab with other employees. I’m sure they all heard me explain to the guy that I accidentally put an extra $8k in a 401(k) account and it got very awkward after that. I’m one of those people who maxes out retirement because I’m retiring early.
I got a lot of really awful things said about me to my boss and he’s telling me I’m creating a hostile environment in the workplace. So yeaaaaahhh.
TL;DR: I had a private conversation in a public space about money and now work is super awkward.
