Lol I felt this way my first few months and then ever since, my attitude became "What are you gonna do, fire me? We're already understaffed and I don't even like this; go ahead."

Lol I’m sure managers here can easily tell you a thousand stories where we just want to move staff off our teams but couldn’t. And these are not staff who made mistakes, these are staff who barely work, have two sign offs in the entire file. So no you are prob 10000 mistakes away from getting fired....but lol AP1 might have it right for themselves, 1 mistake for those who make the big bucks
