I work at a print shop doing in-house graphic design as well as sending to production those designs. No one is perfect, I designed and ordered 1000 presentation folders. Approved by the client, good to go!
Fast forward a few days later, production was done. Quality was amazing, nice high gloss presentation folders with two pockets. We delivered it the client. Few minutes later we got a call from them about the back side of the folders. I forgot to submit the backside of the folders to production. So essentially the template had the front cover, and the pocket designs. Damn, there goes $700 and some change.... (cost of production).
I did not panic but I knew my boss was not going to feel good about it. I told him he can take it out of my paycheck next payday so I can cover the lost cost. We ended up re-submitting the folders again with the correct designs.
Later that day once I'm already home he calls me.... he wanted to let me know that I don't have to worry about the cost. It happens to the best of us and he knows I'm not the type of person to make those mistakes like that. So he understood and mentioned that I was probably doing to much at the same time. He also knows the client and we had a lot of back and forth with the front cover before it got approved... thus completely loosing focus on the back cover design. Anyways, I'm grateful he understands and he can appreciate a mistake.
TL:DR I ordered 1000 folders and forgot to add the back design. Costing the company $700. My boss was understandable. No one got in trouble.
