I work where I’ve got a company vehicle, and we do a lot of off-roading in these trucks so it’s normal for them to get damaged. I got one of them stuck in a sinkhole with 2 of my coworkers around and one of them had to help me winch the truck out. It bent the side step up into the rocker panel of the truck and made a slight dent, though nothing major. I called my manager and told him that I bent the bar, but at the time I hadn’t realized it dented the truck underneath. He had me bring it by so he could look at it and then had me take it to where one of the maintenance guys could bend the side bar back down and then that maintenance guy sent him a picture of it afterwards.

I am having extreme, crippling anxiety because we’ve had these trucks at our house and I have to give it back tomorrow and I’m worried that I will get in trouble for the dent even though he told me on the phone call that “it’s not a big deal, they’re work trucks and they get damaged all the time”, and he looked at it himself. I guess I’m super worried that he didn’t notice the dent and that I should have pointed it out to him even though he looked at it himself.

Am I being irrational or did I make a mistake?
