I've had a pressured role for a while now (managing people and operations) and been coping fine - lots of decent appraisals and feedback, but it's suddenly tipped from being manageable to intolerable pressure.
We have had a spate of errors this week within the team, who are largely newish due to the constant change and churn in our department. One was me (due to a system error I didn't spot) and one I strongly suspect was my manager but is being blamed on my team and I can't prove otherwise.
This has put me into a state of real anxiety. My two predecessors moved on because of the pressure, I really want to do the job but am so aware of how exposed I am in this role. I feel accountable for anything that goes wrong and given the pace we're asked to work at, mistakes are utterly inevitable . It bothers me that my managers cover their backs continually and I may end up a scapegoat facing disciplinary charges for things I haven't been able to control.
Any advice appreciated.
