Sharing repair mistakes: smart move or job danger?

My boss at the repair shop wants us to share every mistake we make on jobs. He says it helps us all get better and avoid repeat errors. But some techs think this is a bad idea. They fear that owning up to a blunder will get them punished or let go. I've seen a tech hide a wrong part order, and it caused a second visit that upset the client. But when we are honest, we often solve things fast before they blow up. I can't decide which side is right. How do you all deal with this in your shops?

Rant: My brisket bark finally clicked with a coffee rub

I was always messing up the bark on my brisket. Then I caught a pitmaster show where they used coffee in the rub. Gave it a shot over the weekend, and wow, the crust was perfect. Maybe it's just me but the coffee added a nice depth. Idk, I'm just really happy with how it turned out.

Training for agility competitions wrecked my dog's basic obedience

I got super into agility with my spaniel and only practiced course runs. He began blowing off simple commands like come or down in the house. It took weeks of extra work to fix his listening skills. My tip is to always mix fun sport drills with regular training days. Letting one hobby take over can really set your pet back.
