When that amazing opportunity you were given turns in to a steaming pile of 💩

If you believe you’re right stick to your guns whatever comes at you.
People like to use ‘breech of procedure’ as a way of ducking out of their own failing to adequately supervise
@Picklebobble2 yeah there were a series of errors so it just depends who it’s easiest to pin it on. Hopefully not me cause I didn’t create the problem lol

@Notladylike I’ve been in that situation so many times over the years !
At a time when you’re looking for support from those in senior management they often look at a situation from the point of‘damage limitation’.
Which effectively means sh*t flies down rather than up as it probably should.
@Picklebobble2 yep that’s exactly it. Damage control

Sorry. It happens. And perhaps this path was not the right one at the right time. Perhaps there would have been more shit down the road no matter how successful you imagined it would be. .. would not have been. It also means, you’re not ready, so you have to go back to the drawing board and focus on what can be better, that you can control from within ;that’s my take on “missed” or screw ups) be yourself and move on. Definitely do NOT attempt a coup !
You do exactly what Steve Jobs did when he was fired from Apple, he stuck to his passion and became even MORE of a success. The key word being "Passion" find one embrace it and you can achieve most anything.
@Grateful4you Yep back yourself! No one else will
@Notladylike Exactly right. I am proud I was the kind of manager who sought to empower my employee's, often delegating some of my own responsibilities so they would learn my job, that gave me extra time to bring even greater achievements and awards to my department. I'm happy to a many of my former employee's are now mangers themselves. Makes me proud.

That's the real reason why people stockpiled toilet rolls?!

It happens. Best to just laugh at it and move on.
@SW-User If I survive the subsequent inquiry then I’ll do just that 😂

What happened?
@CheshireCatalyst long story short a notifiable data breach. Which is bad enough but then just a whole shit show of mismanagement before the case got to me
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout exactly! You think I’d know by now
