Current Events > Breh, I feel like I fudged up at work

(+) Yeah! (+)

So I've been working this position for 1 month now.

So basically I called a client about feedback and to review us on a platform, but I messed up and said the wrong things.

Manager called me and my mentor/senior in. I told her I feel like I fudged up big time, but she said that I shouldn't think in this way and that I'm still learning, and that she's just trying to teach me how to handle this specific situation moving forward (because, after all, I did say the wrong things). Then she said I'm a fast learner, and mentor/senior said I'm improving day by day.

I still feel like I fudged up tho, and a bit bad. Should I feel bad about myself?:D

If you learn from your mistake - it's all good.

If you make this same mistake in a week / month - THEN you should feel real bad.

I was offered to be trained on something at my last job and I said sure but know I will fuck up in the beginning and I was told oh yeah you WILL fuck up...it's how you learn.

This kind of talk basically means they want you to learn from your mistake, but also, they can't afford to replace you, so they're not really judging you harshly on it at all.

Take them at their word, in this case. They really do want you to just learn from mistakes. Call center-esque jobs have insanely high turnover rates, so it's in their best interest to be honest and try to retain people.

If you say 'fudged' one more time, I'll fire you for them.

goddamn fudged it.

I think we all have those bad days at work where we feel like mistakes were made. It sucks, but I would not dwell on it too much. The day is nearly over and the weekend is upon us.

So if you have the weekend off, relax and enjoy it and go back refreshed on Monday. And if you work tomorrow, its a new day and you can start fresh.

Shit happens. Management seems to be helpful at least. Just learn down your mistakes.
