I'm tired of never seeming to do anything right!!

So I'm reasonably new to my job, only started about 2 months ago, I'm not the best at my job but I do try my hardest and most days I do very well but there are times when even if I'm doing perfectly fine 2 of my managers come up with some way I've done something wrong when I haven't, I've never disputed them, I just apologies and try and fix whatever the problem is and then continue on with my work. 

At first I thought 'oh it's because I'm the new girl, I bet this happened to everyone' but it doesn't, 3 more people have started since and they are all treated as though they are royals while I clean up their messes and mistakes.

its frustrating beyond relief.

ive been told off for wearing my jeans rolled up above my ankle when others wear short skirts, I've been told I can no longer dye my hair though the manager herself has.

quitting this job is out of the question and it's near impossible to find anything else, I have no idea what to do 😓

Hi Milly, my name is Paul and Welcome

You seem to be hard on yourself here...Firstly congrats on your new job.

You have only been there for 2 months. You are spot on when you said 'you are doing your best'. That is all you can do Milly...anything else you have no control over. Keep it simple and positive...give yourself time to feel good about the quality of your work...

The frustration you speak of is annoying but is part of working anywhere...there will be things/people that will be a pain...The hair dye is just your manager is just letting you now who is the boss..Let her be the boss...sure she may be a dill for not practicing what she preaches but once again you are working with people and all their issues and faults as well.

I do hope you can be 'kind to yourself' when through all this...You are getting paid...thats huge..

Just a tip with your manager Milly....Remember there is no thing as a 'dumb' question. It will make her feel 'important' when you ask her for her 'advice' She will love that 🙂

Please let us know how you are going

Thankyou for posting too

Paul
