Grateful to Work Where I Work

Last week we released a guideline. And made some mistakes. Long story short - there are two versions of the guideline (HTML and PDF). The two versions were not exactly the same - due mostly to the lack of QC time we had at the end of the process. Many lessons learned and we'll change our process for next time. But on to what really matters:

My coworkers are FABULOUS. My boss was understanding and never lost confidence in us. The team stuck together and logically worked through the "fix". I couldn't help but think of how this would have been at my last job. No joke - I would have been pulled into my boss' office and yelled at. For hours. There would have been finger pointing and plenty of tears.

It's great to work in an environment where, although they are not taken lightly, mistakes are OK. We are confident enough to admit when we're wrong or make a mistake. People work together, rather than against each other. The common goal is a quality product - no competition, no backstabbing.

After a very LONG day at the office, I left feeling more happy than ever to work where I do!
