"HOW I SAVED MY HIDE"

Readers share the way they blew it big-time, then bounced back.

I developed my company's new brochure and stupidly gave the wrong contact information. I negotiated with the printer to eat half the reprinting charge. I offered to cover the extra costs out of my bonus." -Kay, 30

I went out of town when the entire company had to work one weekend. Everyone hated me. So I personally apologized to the staff one by one and volunteered to stay late to wrap up all the loose ends." -Andrea, 27

I forgot to tell my boss that our CEO had called. In order to get back in their good graces, I started E-mailing phone messages. My new system is so helpful that they have forgotten my mishap." -Shauna, 21

I lost my presentation complete with slides and charts. Since I had memorized most of the information, I presented it in a conversational manner. The client loved my style so much that I got a raise." -Melinda, 28

"Can I get credit for my work and not look like a conceited jerk?"
