Im a new analyst 1 and I got slammed today because I uploaded a document that wasn’t supposed to be uploaded to the VDR despite the fact that two associates signed off on the VDR. Am I in the wrong here for not getting the VDR right? I’m feeling down because of this but not sure if I’m being hard on myself or if the criticism is warranted.

Associates fault if they signed off on including the document

That’s relieving, thanks for commenting. Feel so tired, they straight up told me I’m doing low quality work…

Make sure that not only Fishbowl knows that it got sign-off. Don't get thrown under the bus and stand up for yourself.
