All the positions at my company are run as an assembly line, so if one person/department misses something the other one can hopefully catch it. The first person who wrote up the case information missed three valuable things. The person who took it after her caught the missing information but either forgot to tell the first person or didn’t make it known to anyone else who might be working on the case. Once the case got to me I was still basing my information on what the first person had written up. I missed the ‘signs’ the second person had written. So now I realized that I messed up a lot of stuff and ordered things I didn’t need to. The whole case is sort of messed up because a lot of money was wasted….not too much but a good amount. Should I confess to my boss and let her know that I caught this or just let the other person know what happened? Would this look bad in my part if I come clean with my boss? I mean two of the missed items were there for me to see. It seems like the majority of the fault falls on me because the second person did catch some of it and wrote the correct information on it. If I come clean would that place me in a bad situation? I don’t want to get anyone in trouble let alone myself. Is there a way of coming clean without getting myself in too much trouble? I already got a formal warning about two months ago so I def. don’t want to do anything to make it worse.
