Construction Coordinator

Question

Is it okay for people to make mistakes at work? Do some bosses think that a minor mistake (typo or even wrong info about status of one item on long informal list of items) is unacceptable?  I handle A LOT of paper every day. I work on over 100 active projects. Sometimes I am going to make a mistake. I have no problem with that because I know that I thrive for perfection. But, I am smart enough to know that perfection is not going to be reached. I also have no problem accepting or saying that I made a mistake. How does your boss react to your mistakes??

While I'm not a construction coordinator, we're all human and make mistakes. Based on how big you think the error is, it's the steps taken after making a mistake that's important. If you think it's necessary to earn back trust then try but if you already feel like you've earned trust, don't sweat! Apologize if you need to but don't overdue it.

Unless you have an editor by your side, typos are bound to happen. You sound like you aren't careless and work very hard so I'm sure that shows within your work.
