Signs you are about to be rolled off? I made two mistakes (first big mistake on project) last week in an email I sent to a client and I feel like I'm on a short leash. What are some of the signs?

Don’t torment yourself wondering. Go have a conversation with your project manager. Own your mistakes and outline the steps you’re taking so it doesn’t happen again. Ask the PM for any additional feedback or concerns they have so you can get ahead of this (assuming you want to). Good luck.
