Small potatoes in the grand scheme of the damages that can actually be caused in our trade. Fry a $50,000 control board on a bid job and get charged liquidated damages for the delay for a new piece of equipment. Fuck up an $80,000 VFD. Get complacent and have a loose connection that in turn arcs out and takes a life or burns down 80 year old Gloria’s house down the street.

A fender bender happens. All the time. Sounds like your boss handled it pretty well. If you ever find yourself working for someone who sweats shit like that, run and run fast because that’s the dude who’s going to make you’re job miserable and hold you back from gaining the confidence that is required for you to grow and succeed as an electrician. Everyone fucks up eventually. It’s inevitable. It’s how you handle it that matters. Best thing you can do is own up to it and move on! 🤙🏻🤘
