It's been a very stressful week at work. And I screwed up. I did not cost the company any money, or steal anything like that. Just did follow a procedure that I should have. I got the you could have been terminated speech. Hope that I can recover and regain trust again, without losing my job.

Shrug it off and press on with pride. I've made that mistake once or twice. I make it all the time now.... hard to get fired when I'm retired.... LOL

Thank you!

Don't dwell on it. It will only bring you down.
Work is the worst 4 letter word so live the $hitake happens life and move on.

Been there! Like everyone else said, shrug it off. We make mistakes, it's learning from them that makes us better people!

Been there many times..... got fired some, lectured to even more.... Let it go, move on and do the best job you can, It all works out one way or another.

Which time? I was sort of informally accused of mutiny by the captain once. Does that count? And I was highly rated as a sailor.
Look at it this way: it will just make you look "improved" when you follow procedure.

Yep, I have screwed in the past and prob will some more in the future, it's in inevitable.....you got to just try and not screw up the same thing twice and try learn from your mistakes.

Ya know the coders line: "If there ain't no bugs, I'm not writin' code!"

Messing up is why they call it work.

It hurts now, but don't let it bring you down. Your value to the company should be assessed by your overall performance and your consistency in doing your job.

your human, and we screw up. don't loose any sleep over it. just learn from it and move on.

Is this a trick question?

I've only had a couple of screw ups that were more than little issues at work but luckily the people I work for usually were more interested in how I handled the situations after the fact.

Little screw ups happen all the time no matter how you try to minimize them.

Just take home the lesson; learn from your mistake. My best performers in sales make mistakes, but never the same one twice. My lowest performers are the ones who don't make mistakes, or make the same error repeatedly.

Why yes, yes I have. Next question please.
