Listen "Major F%$@Up"
Episode Synopsis
“Oops you made a mistake, that’s all … and making mistakes is never fun” was a jingle from a decades-old cartoon series. Truer words were never sung. Blunder … error … gaffe … mis-step … oversight … blooper … many terms share that singular, sinking feeling when you realize you messed up in a big way. We help listeners own up and make amends when things go awry at the office. Jack shares the story of an impromptu acoustic performance that saved a concert waylaid by technical difficulties.Segments in this episode:Not Ticking all the Boxes in Vancouver – “We shipped a large order to an overseas customer and I just realized I sent the wrong stuff!”They’re all Johns in Indiana - “OMG … I told the wrong John Smith he’d been promoted and given a raise.”The Gist: “How to Apologize for a Mistake Professionally” by Genevieve Northup, MBA, SHRM-CP, HCI-SPTD as posted on Indeed.comWe want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work!
