Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
Made another mistake…
Last time I made such a mistake, it cost me the promotion.
I thought I learned.
I was wrong. I over-estimated myself.
I clearly took the easy way out and committed a logical flaw.
More sanity check may have captured it.
Clearly, I did not think it was necessary.
Seeing the huge numbers did not alarm me enough either.
I did not really check with people either and even pushed people away to avoid more work.
This is all wrong.
Even if there was no mistake, what I did is still dangerous.

Maybe I could have handled the after-math better.
For example, I could insist that those were the assumptions made previously.
I could combine the impact with the next round of refinement so that it is less obvious.
….
But it could also lead to the impression that I am over-defensive and not willing to admit mistakes.

I did my best to rectify the mistake.
I need to be extra careful not to make any more mistakes again.
Last time, it cost me my promotion.
This time, it wont because I do not have any promotion to begin with.
But this is something I need to be worried about, being in the reputation business.
Till next time!
