My coworker told me to put my presentation in OneDrive so she could do some edits. Never got those edits… but when I sent the file to the MC of the meeting (which they didn’t tell me I had to do until I was literally about to step into the board room) it rolled back to an old version without warning. Burned through a lot of my presentation time trying to fix it before just going ahead with the unfinished version which had casual placeholders. I was thrown off and sweating and out of time and it was just not good. The board was nice and seemed to pity me but I know it was bad.
I had a moderate crash out on the way back to the office but my boss said not to worry about it so just trying to move past it.
Lesson learned: fuck OneDrive. I’d heard horror stories but didn’t listen…

Jk OneDrive is terrible and it’s not your fault for expecting it to do the only thing it is supposedly good for. Sounds like everyone was understanding so it is all good! And your boss is on board, so everything considered that’s a pretty good work situation.
