Family relationships are often some of the closest bonds that people will ever experience, but that doesn’t mean that they are always a walk in the park. Everybody messes up occasionally, even with those they love. What is even worse is that many actively choose to betray the trust of their relatives for their own ends, completely upending relationships and family dynamics. Even in the most secure relationships, all it takes is one stupid mistake or malicious action to erode the trust and care between family members.
Unfortunately, this is something that some people do not realize until it’s too late, and then they are not happy when they face the consequences for their actions. This is especially true for those who are younger and have a life lesson or two to learn about how to behave around others. It might not be pleasant, but it is a necessary response.
There is no match to the adrenaline rush you feel after you find out you made a mistake that could very possibly cost you your job. Your heart starts beating fast, your ears are ringing, your hands are sweating, as you stare at your mistake and consider the two options you have–fight or flee.
Choosing to flee means that you will try everything to cover up your mistake. Sweeping any evidence and ties you may have for the problem you created, and acting innocent if anyone asks you about it. If you’re lucky, nobody will be able to trace this back to you. If luck is not on your side, you will have a lot of explaining to do.
Choosing to fight means you are ready to own up to your mistake and face the consequences, come what may. You will march to your supervisor, tell them what happened, and hope they will be understanding, and maybe even able to fix it. While some managers will see this mistake as a valid excuse to let you go, others might appreciate your honesty and allow you to stay. Either way, at least your conscious will be clean.
