I am a 24-year-old girl, and I live in Europe. I have this problem, and I don’t know what to do, and it’s draining me. Two months ago, that was December 2023, I quit my job. That same December, I got another job about one week later. This job is way better than my previous job: better colleagues, better work environment, better pay; overall, everything is very nice, and I’m grateful every day for this job. Recently, they added some modifications to the job description, and I’ve been screwing up so badly. I am making so many silly mistakes that I don’t even understand how. I know everything I’m supposed to do; I understand everything that is expected of me, but somehow, I keep making mistakes. I try my utmost best when I’m working; I put in 100% focus, but I don’t know how I keep making mistakes. I’m not a stupid person; I’m actually very smart, but I keep making these stupid mistakes. I feel so dumb and undeserving of the job.
A day ago, my boss’s boss called me to her office to tell me about a mistake I made. I felt so guilty and broken; I apologized and promised to do better. Just the next day, I made another mistake. I don’t know what else I can do to not make mistakes; it’s so frustrating and embarrassing every time. When the only time they’re speaking to me is about mistakes. A new girl just started working with us in less than two weeks, but she’s doing great. I, on the other hand, have been there for two months now but still can’t do a proper job. Every day I go to work, I can’t look at my bosses in their eyes because I feel so ashamed, stupid, and dumb. I’m thinking I should just quit. Please, any ideas on how I can improve my performance at work? Or should I just quit and look for another job?
