I’m curious how people handle mistakes at work mentally. Even small ones can stick with me longer than they should. How do you bounce back after messing something up?

Remember that we are all human. We all make mistakes - it may feel discouraging at first, but think about what the learning lesson or takeaway was, and then apply what you’ve learned so you don’t make the same mistake again. Give yourself a little grace. And remember, we’re not saving lives.

If it's a small mistake, immediately... I say sorry (and mean it), remediate it if helpful/required, and then move on.

Mistakes feel awful and extremely important the day it happens, but as time fades and you look back, you realize that it was actually just a bad 15-30min of your day and it actually doesn’t matter anymore. Realizing this has helped me a LOT over the years and it’s also made me remain calmer when mistakes do actually happen

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
