"I was on vacation when a group project was announced. One group member claimed responsibility get me up to speed when I returned to work the next day. I took notes as they relayed the details of what we needed to accomplish, deadlines and all. I handed them my notes for them to review to make sure everything looked good. They gave me the thumbs up. However, I failed to run my notes by my supervisor and make sure I didn't miss anything. My supervisor even came by and asked if I was up to speed, which I said I was, and they said if I had questions to let them know. The next week, they announced in a group meeting that the deadline was coming up at the end of the week and wanted to check in on the progress of each individual on the team. What I missed was that the rest of the team was going to base their projects on my findings. It was at this point I discovered I had one less week than I thought before my deadline. My work was due at this meeting. The extra week was for everyone else to turn in their work. So I wasn't ready and had to inform everyone else, and they all had to jump on board and tackle extra work to help me get it all done on time. I blame myself for not clarifying those details. We met our deadline, but everyone had to put in overtime a couple of days in a row, and our supervisor had to stay late waiting for us to turn in our work so we could meet the deadline the following morning. It wasn't ideal. Knowing what I know now, I would've handled things differently. I haven't made a mistake like it since."
