What have you learned from mistakes you've made on a job?
Always talk with your manager if you're upset or concerned about something.
I worked with someone who quit a job that he loved to go to work for a competitor for $1 more per hour. He needed the dollar, gave his two weeks' notice, and didn't burn any bridges on his way out. But after my co-worker left his manager said to me that if the co-worker had just asked for a raise then he would have been given one. The manager made the mistake of underpaying my co-worker, but the co-worker ended up working in a job that he hated because he incorrectly assumed that the manager wouldn't give him a raise. That was a costly mistake.
