I started a new job late last year and it had a 6 month probation period.
During the probation period I have had feedback that my work isn't to the level they would expect for someone in my role.
i've only been in the role for 3 months and haven't had a chance to get stuck into anything substantive but the few bits of work I have done, I've received criticism which I think is harsh and I think maybe I'm not the right fit for this job.
for example, with one piece of work I've had criticism that the level of detail wasn't good enough but without any specific feedback on what I had done wrong. I think the person giving the feedback has taken against me but the problem I have now is that my manager is going to measure this feedback against my performance at the end of the 6 months.
I have a project to work on over the next 3 weeks which I'm hoping will show my skill but the problem is I have lost my confidence and feel like I'll constantly be scrutinised and criticised and anything short of perfection won't be accepted.
i never had issues like this in my old role (although the roles are totally different). I'm just wondering whether I should see if I can go back to my old role or get a new job as the probation period is stressing me out and I really feel like the writing is on the wall.
How would this look to an employer if I did this? Would I find it difficult to get a job? I would be grateful for any insight or advice.
