I started a new job a few months ago. The whole team (2 sections) is relatively new within the past year give or take a few long term staff and management. My sub-team has an extremely high volume of work.
Recently, the other team (senior) of the department keep highlighting mistakes my team has made but in an over the top way and to be honest, making us feel completely inept at our role. This happened last week with a specific task and the whole office could hear and actually when it was looked at the mistake was there's.
I had yet to make a mistake with one specific task (despite being made to have felt to have made all the mistakes with the reaction as its aimed at the team as a whole.) However today, I have realised that I have now too have done a similar error with this type of work (which I'd completed prior to the outburst) and no doubt it will be brought up as it was too late to fix and did I not listen to what was said last week.
These mistakes are actually relatively minor but had they looked over the work before proceeding the error could have been rectified in 1 minute.
I should say the other team also makes mistakes on a bigger scale which we spot when their work is supposed to have been double checked and our team don't feel the need to shout about it, we just say can you fix this please and forget it in a normal pleasant way.
I can accept a mistake but not the attitude that goes with it. It's envitable we will make errors as we are under pressure with workload and also new staff. There is no credit given for doing anything right either, except by our team lead.
It's got the stage now where we are scared of doing work and something being wrong due to the way it's handled.
Needless to say I'm now dreading work tomorrow due to my presumed mistake. I wish I'd the confidence to stand up for myself more and fight my corner but my voice shakes, I get emotional i.e tearful and also I don't want to act the same way they do i.e completely unprofessional.
Aibu to think everybody makes mistakes and there's no need to be so aggressive and confrontational about it?
