Everyone makes mistakes. Usually you can correct your error or just forget about it and move on. Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious. It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company's bottom line. Repercussions will ultimately trickle down to you.
人人都會(huì)犯錯(cuò)。通常情況下你可以改正你的錯(cuò)誤或者干脆忘掉它并繼續(xù)前行。但若在工作中犯錯(cuò)就要嚴(yán)重得多了,它很可能給你的雇主造成麻煩甚至碰觸到公司的底線,而這些后果最終會(huì)反應(yīng)到你的頭上。
Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option. When you make a mistake at work your career may depend on what you do next.
僅僅改正錯(cuò)誤然后繼續(xù)向前可能并不現(xiàn)實(shí)。若在工作中犯了錯(cuò),你的職業(yè)生涯就取決于你下一步的行動(dòng)了。
Admit Your Mistake 承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤
Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is if you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don't try to hide your mistake. You will look terrible if someone else discovers it.
立刻跟你的老板承認(rèn)你的錯(cuò)誤。除非你犯的錯(cuò)無(wú)關(guān)緊要且影響不到別人,否則不要試圖掩飾你的錯(cuò)誤,因?yàn)槿绻e(cuò)誤被發(fā)現(xiàn),你會(huì)變得很慘。
Present Your Boss With a Plan To Fix Your Mistake 帶著能彌補(bǔ)錯(cuò)誤的計(jì)劃去見老板

當(dāng)你去向老板承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)候,必須帶著一個(gè)能夠彌補(bǔ)錯(cuò)誤的計(jì)劃。把你的計(jì)劃講清楚。告訴老板你的計(jì)劃要多久才會(huì)生效,或者是否需要額外的費(fèi)用。
Don't Blame Anyone Else for Your Mistake 不要因?yàn)槟愕腻e(cuò)誤責(zé)怪任何人
Pointing fingers won't help anyone if you make a mistake. Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in confessing to your boss.
如果你犯了錯(cuò),指責(zé)別人幫不了你。鼓勵(lì)那些愿意和你分擔(dān)責(zé)任的人跟著你一起去找老板承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤。
Apologize for Your Mistake But Don't Beat Yourself Up 為錯(cuò)誤道歉但不要把自己打倒
There's a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourself up about it. Take responsibility but don't berate yourself for making it, especially in public.
承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤和把自己打倒之間有很大的差別。承擔(dān)責(zé)任,但不要苛責(zé)自己,尤其是在公共場(chǎng)合。
Correct Your Mistake on Your Own Time 用自己的時(shí)間彌補(bǔ)錯(cuò)誤
If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don't expect to be paid for that time. You can also use your lunch hour or come into work early.
如果你不得不加班來(lái)彌補(bǔ)你的錯(cuò)誤,那么不要指望拿加班費(fèi)。你還可以用午餐時(shí)間或者提早上班來(lái)做這些事情。
