[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't know where the rest of these people work, that for one little mistake like this they get fired, but I feel badly for them.  Please don't let them scare you.

If you worked for me, or anyone in our office, we'd have a talk, you'd explain what happened, you might get a warning or reprimand in your file, but you would not be fired.  You know you made a mistake,  apologize, explain your confusion, what you did to try and correct it, and steps you will take so that it doesn't happen again.  And then get back to work![/quote]

Thank you for saying that. I have worked successfully with this guy for like six years, and being that he was there for another conference and had meetings set up with people it's not as if he flew there only for this conference and it was a waste of a trip. So I don't think/hope I'll get fired. I will definitely apologize in person once he's back and have the trip chart I used last year up to date for this year so it can't happen again. He emailed and said he wasn't upset, just disappointed. The firm didn't fire the person who fell for a phishing email and cost it $60k. At worst I cost two nights of a hotel, but I will offer to pay that. [/quote]
