Many mistakes can be forgiven, but in the workplace, sometimes it can cost you your job.
If you’re a solid employee, your company will probably overlook most of your mistakes, even the really severe ones.

But other times, that manager needs someone to blame, and if they aren’t totally happy with that employee, their head is on the chopping block.
