I just discovered I’ve made a mistake at work it’ll cost around $30k USD. Wat do? I’ve only worked this job for a year, and have just received a job offer froma rival comp. that I haven’t answered yet (same job same pay)
>Switch jobs before it’s discovered Easy way out, only worked here (first job) for a year though
>play stupid and blame the losses on something else in the project. This is actually possible for a while unless i get detail-reviewed ahead of time. It will probably eventually get discovered in 4-5 months time
>Blame it on someone else once it’s discovered. This is possible. My next-in-line leader was supposed to check all my numbers and calculations, I’m new so I needed extra supervision. He approved it, and he has since quit the firm.
if he could take responsibility for someone's death then you can take responsibility for this

No one’s getting hurt, this is just a pricing error.
If someone actually got hurt you never have any other choice than to accept responsibility. I can play stupid/ignorant in this case
Zachary Rodriguez
He could have blamed one of his seals

Be honest, state issues and plan to resolve - point out ways to improve.
Discretely share with both first and share how you plan to socialise. Ask for help
use your back up option if they choose to ask you to leave resign and take the other job
Companies that are good would value honesty

>blame it on someone else kys degenerates. do i have to pretend you're 7 and ask how you'd like it if someone did that to you? care about others or die psychopath fags
I'd try to go to your manager rather than wait for him to come to you. (if you honestly did not make the mistake on purpose) the company probably has insurance. if you own up to it you will still have your reputation.
also Why was there nobody above you, looking over what you've done, you've only worked there for a year.

>$30k Are you working at a fucking lemonade stand? Why would anyone care about $30k?

who gives a shit about costing them money, it's not like they would pay you more if you proved you saved them money.

are you retarded? the other guy is gone, and from op's description it was actually his responsibility. it's not even a victimless crime because there is no crime, but either way, nobody gets hurt a rational solution is not about your nigger-tier ego, but minimizing damage for everyone involved. this is the zerocost solution, ergo the one op should follow

Jow Forums, Jow Forums in general, operates on a childlike mental state. you are talking to a bunch of (30 year old) children.

I was hired as a mid-tier manager of a department of around 40 people, there were 4 bosses above me in my department, but all 4 have now quit in protest of the top leadership. It’s currently me and a colleague trying to keep things running untill they’re replaced. Feeling like that young controller in Chernobyl atm
Kek, it’s my first stupid ass mistake
Honestly, after crypto I don’t feel all that much when losing money, however my firm is stingy as fuck. People get yelled at over trivial shit, and $200 bonuses are blocked after people work 200+ hours overtime without pay
Wyatt Allen
Quit

>>Blame it on someone else once it’s discovered.
Ok so make sure to go about this the right way. When they come to you make sure to feign ignorance of the problem and point out the xyz signed off on the work. Don't sperg it up and go xyz did it *points fratically*. Play it cool
Bentley Foster
fuck man everyone makes mistakes.

If your direct supervisor signed off on it then it's his fault. New hires make mistakes. That's why they are supervised.
Nobody is perfect and if you work in a team that is supposed to be checking each other's work, but that doesn't happen, it is not entirely your fault.
Anyways you should wait for it to be discovered then if they give you shit you can and should sue them.
Cooper Hughes
this, it is literally your bosses fault also start looking for a new job now so you can quit before its found out
