I screwed up at work

I wrote some meeting minutes from a meeting i had on tuesday and sent it to my boss to review. he redlined it in microsoft word and i sent the meeting minutes out without accepting changes first. so now our customer has the original and the redline info. my boss is very upset with me. i am not doing well here anyway. so i'm really worried that this may lead to something bad. keep your fingers crossed i am not fired.

Just from the things you've said in the past, it doesn't seem as if your heart is really INTO this job.  However, since everyone NEEDS a job, and until one comes along that is the right fit for you, the best thing you can do is apologize.  I'm sure you've already done that, but just do what you can to right this - maybe ask your boss if he'd like you to send an apology email to the customer - and TRY to move on.

Everyone makes mistakes, hopefully your boss will remember that!

Hugs,

Tia

Nic:

Can you recall the e-mail or have your IT department recall it? 

one of the customers already read it, i got the read receipt so too late.

'sigh'

Nic:

Everyone makes mistakes every now and then.  I'm with Tia, just apologize and go on.  Try not to make yourself miserable.

Nicole,

we screwed up big time yesterday here.

we ran a script to disable users that had not changed their password in over a year.
except the data we had was flawed.
we disabled 710 active users.
we got Hammered.
we are still being blamed.
our entire team was thrown under the bus....


it happens to everyone.
that's why we are HUMAN....

thanks and sorry bout what happened at your place. I'm not exactly a model employee so this just makes things worse. I honestly would not be surprised if i was let go.

sometimes I think that would be best.

oh and had to say human shmuman. not sure why but it was in my head lol

i get the feeling you sort of want to be let go....

Nic,

I agree with what everyone has said. The best you can do, is apologize and go forward. If you want to try and make this job work, it helps to stay positive. I know that is hard.

Wishing you the best!

Debbie

(((((((((((Nic))))))))))))  hold your head up -  appologize and move forward!
