Posting here for traffic as i know I am being unreasonable in my reactions to this issue, but I really, really hate being 'told off' at work.
My work is somewhere which is fast paced and there is a lot of pressure to get things done in a limited timeframe. Mistakes happen and sometimes my managers have a word with me about mistakes I make. not loads, but every now and then I do screw something up.
This isn't a problem in of itself, my managers don't swear or shout or act in a nasty way. They can be a tad strict or slightly arsey but I never feel like I'm getting an uncalled-for bollocking or am being bullied etc.
My problem is even a small mistake and being pulled up on it leaves me feeling panicky, unsure of myself, frustrated, defensive and really anxious.
It's my day off today and my boss called me over two hours ago to pull me up on something I did wrong yesterday - some of it my fault but some with a reason. He wasn't mean to me, just told me what to do differently next time and did say this sort of thing if seen to be done deliberately could be a dismissal offence (but to be fair most of the stuff they pull you up with at work is touted as being a dismissal offence!).
My issue is i'm still going over it in my head and feeling angry at myself, depressed, down and worried about work. I also feel defensive and generally bleurgh about it.
I need some advice!! How do I manage these feelings?
I hate the feeling of being 'in trouble', to the point where i feel i become obsessive about the issue and really wind myself up. It's really put a cloud on my day and made me realise how much of a problem this is for me.
Anyone else get this? How do you cope with it?!
