Should I resign or will I get fired?i

[Anonymous]

I was uploading documents today. My Supervisor is out of town for the week. I Wasn't aware that I didn't have the rights to upload those Documents into the website. For example, I work uploading Projects and bids on the intranet. I have an APP that links every project number to that project. I thought if I didn't have project number on the Apps I could upload on the website manual. The Assistant Supervisor didn't know that I needed right to upload the documents. My supervisor called and said that those documents I uploaded would not go anywhere because I need the rights to upload and I should ask the IT help desk to give me the rights to upload the documents. I spend 8 hours uploading and linking the documents to each project. I am on TEMP TO hire agency.
Will this mistake cost me the job? Should I quit before they fire me?

This explanation makes absolutely no sense to someone who doesn't know what your job is. Why are you in trouble? It sounds like you were not given the proper instructions to correctly complete your work. It depends on management, but you may not be the one who is in trouble if a mistake happened. It might be the assistant supervisor or your supervisor who are blamed for the error.

Whoa calm down. No need to rush to quit. I couldn't really understand your story but just wait and see what happens.

Im kind of confused but DONT QUIT. Wait it out. If they let you go, ask the temp agency to get some specifics as to what happened and give your side of it. Be honest. Hopefully agency will undertsand and get you more work.

It sounds like your IT Help Desk might be to blame here for not assigning you the right permissions. I can tell you at every place I have worked, this type of error would be treated as an annoyance but not something fire-able. You'll just have to do it all over again once you get your permissions straightened out - fun fun!

Thanks, I guess I worried too much, because this is my first 9-5 type job. I talked to him on Skype and he didn't seem mad or pissed off just said you can't do it that way.

Don't quit. If they fire you, you can get unemployment. This doesn't seem like a firewble offense though.

Calm down. Not everything is a firing matter.

It's a temp job. I didn't even think you could get fired from those. Why would you quit? Your post didn't make sense.

You can - sort of. Some places decide to hire someone permanent from the outside.

I'm confused.. usually if you don't have rights to access something, you won't be able to do it. The fact that you're able to upload and attach indicates to me that you DID have rights, but maybe weren't supposed to. This isn't your issue, that's IT's issue, because it means they're not locking down the system like they're probably supposed to.
