Made a mistake at work. How do I resolve?
I was given part of a major project at work. I'm new to this position and I'm still learning. At any rate, I think a large portion of my report was done properly but there were quite a few other minor mistakes just because I was rushing. I did notice that my co-worker (who I split the project with) was going faster than I was and I was trying to keep up. My supervisor returned the report to both of us to complete again because I didn't complete mine the same way he did (even though most of the major things were right). Now I feel like a jerk. Is this grounds to be fired? And is there any way I can resolve this?

One of you needs to go through and standardize the entire report. Since you feel guilty about the work, I'd guest you volunteer to do it. Then, ask your coworker to read through the entire report gain before turning it in.
I believe that there is not any single mistake that cannot be resolved, but why waste time and cause emotional distress to others just because one is slow in completing his/her tasks. You were given enough time and still you want to taking time repeating the same home work. Br honest with yourself and see whether you are doing the right thing.
