    I overspent on a YouTube campaign by roughly $300k, kept my job, built systems & processes in response to ensure it never happens again with me or anyone on the team.

    Best course of action is to be forthright & fully accountable. Show ownership, leave room for people to be pissed (statistically speaking, they will be), and when the time feels right tell them how you’re going to ensure it never happens again.

    Whatever its worth, i have since been promoted several times. I am now leading the team. Fired or not, grow from it. Mistakes happen- some are more costly than others, unfortunately.
