To think that I am just pathetic

[suchawimp]

and it isn't normal to be like this at 26.

I did something wrong at work and have to tell my manager tomorrow. I feel sick and am shaking and going hot and cold - I just can't seem to deal with stuff like this. It just makes me feel small and useless.

I don't know what she will say but it won't be nice. I hate being told off and really hate confrontation and raised voices. I don't know why and it is pathetic I know.

Is there a way to toughen up and get over this sort of thing?

I think it's normal to feel like that. I know I have in the past. I think it's worse because she sounds a nightmare boss.

I know it's easy to say and harder to feel - but it is only a job. You are so much more than the sum total of one job. What feels like the end of the world right now, will fade into insignificance soon.

I don't believe there is a person alive who has never cocked up big time at some point or another.

Hope today goes well

Ouch, nasty reaction from your manager... Hope today is bearable

Can you turn it back on her?
Her "You screwed up"
You "yes, I'm sorry. How should I handle situations like this in future"

She is paid to manage people after all....so make her come up with some answers!

Please report back, I hope it goes ok

Tbh I think the manager is getting a tough deal here.

The op said she 'did something wrong' at work. People seem to be interpreting that as she made a mistake.

For all we know the 'something wrong' could be bordering on gross misconduct. In which case, removing privelages (such as the ops course) could be the best way to go for the manager.

I don't see how people can possibly comment in the Seth they have with such limited information really.

anyone who feels scared, unless are being manipulative weirdos would not have posted this, I would rather make a fool of myself with a troll than not support a real person
