If they write you up start looking for another job because NOBODY was going to survive working for them. I don't think there is a 2% chance of you getting in trouble for what you described. I worry about EVERYTHING. I would not worry about this if it happened to me.

If you are worried about a bit of dirt or mud causing potential loss of job, try to listen to yourself talk. You need a vacation worse than I do...booley Thanks this. -

The driver in that video was churning ONE set of wheels. He didn't have the power divider engaged. If he had it engaged he had a much better chance of getting out, even without high range spinning.
Not all mud is created equal. It sounds like the OP got into some slippery stuff. If you get into slippery mud, no matter how deep, the truck will tend to slide downhill as if it is on water ice. In central Oklahoma after even a half inch of ran that red soil packed dirt road become the consistency of Vaseline. You dare not be anywhere but right on top of even the slightest crown in the road, or else your drives will slide sideways toward the ditch. Gawd help you when you have to make a right angle turn from one narrow road to another. You have to start in the ditch and turn to the far side ditch to clear stop signs and culvert. Then it's a struggle to get back up onto the center of the crown, even with the PD engaged or with full lockers. There's a few times it took me over a quarter mile to get the drives out of the ditch. Thankfully I never had to make the dreaded call for a bulldozer to come yank me out.tscottme, D.Tibbitt, not4hire and 1 other person Thank this. -

That's not too bad. It's not really stuck until you have to disassemble it and lift the pieces out one at a time with a helicopter.
Until that point you're just terrain-challenged. No big deal.Tombstone69, Lepton1, Cattleman84 and 2 others Thank this. -
Nothing That 20 mins of crawling around in the mud to put on chains wouldnt fix.
