I've been traumatized by my workplaces.
I mess up and they keep calling me a screw up but using the f word. Some old man who I was working with started putting me down, asking me how am I going to keep going with life fcking up all the Time!
That just lowered my ability to work. I quit that job due to that b*****d, but now find myself not wanting to work due to that repeating itself. I hate feeling like a f up.
Hi Sam. Some people just cant help but be a bully. So you make mistakes. We all do its just some people have to put you down because they feel inadequate in their own lives so they have to make other peoples live miserable too. I was bullied at school because of how I was and I got sick and had to leave. Sounds like you are better off out of that toxic environment anyway. You will find a job that is right for you. You know somewhere where people understand that mistakes happen and give you a fair go. You are not a F up you are a human being. Youre not perfect cause no one is. Just do your best. No one can put you down for doing that. Im here if you want to talk.
That's awful. Don't let the opinions of one a****** shape your future. People are not perfect and it sounds like you didn't get support in your last role. Even if you did make a mistake, it's your employers responsibility to train and support you so that you can learn from them. Sounds like you're better off not working there.
Hi Sam, You're far from stupid. Stupid would've been to stay in that situation. Sounds to me that the old man forgot he wasn't born knowing his job, he to was once a trainee learning & making mistakes the same as anybody else. He probably didn't have an ass looking over his shoulder with no people skills knocking his confidence at every turn so got to find his feet and grow tho.
You will find your niche, few people find their forever career straight away and doubt their-selves along the way. Think outside the box & use what you've already learned about what conditions/situations you work best in, what you do best at & think you can build on & enjoy the most. A lot of companies now acknowledge mental health issues & have good support networks set in place to help, they're not all like what you have sadly already experienced.
Try to focus on what you know you're good at...not what other people think you're bad at. Unfortunately some people have to put others down to build their-selves up but they are in the minority (honestly lol).
I know its scary getting back out there after what you've experienced & the easier option is to stay in your safe zone but you deserve so much more than that. Don't let some ignorant cranky old man or anybody else rob you of it.
