Coming back from tears at work

[Lushmetender]

I WFH but I work on an important project in my job. It’s been going ok and making a profit so all we’re happy but it isnt my dream job. I’ve done well on the project considering I don’t get much from it in terms of personal satisfaction.

Anyway tried to change my job internally but didn’t get the new role so head down and all that. Someone I work with told me it wasn’t right for me and better where I was. And they’ve been working on increasing my profile with the big boss but they are not encouraging at all and I just feel I’m doing a rubbish job all the time in their eyes. I had a meeting today and issue cropped up in our project I mentioned. So have been hauled over the coals for it for not alerting it to them sooner. And basically said they didn’t think I should be leading their important project. Held it together but had a 1 to 1 after and I blurted out I didn’t think the job was for me and was in tears. Boss was sympathetic and said glad it’d come from me and they’d look to find something suitable within the organisation but need to keep with day job in meantime. And that I’d
Not burned bridges with the interview I had and they’d got my back etc.

How do I come back from this though. So annoyed re the tears and want a job that suits my experience and expands that. I’ve done a good job to be honest but the head boss gets frustrated with my style of working. Why’d?

I'm not knowledgeable about workplace scenarios, sorry, but hopefully someone else will come along soon.

You got upset, so what, that’s what frustration can do to you sometimes. At least now the tears are out of the way you can move forward. You say you did not like the job and want something else, well at least the Manager knows this. Some jobs are just not for everybody and that’s fine. It might be worth discussing work style and see what 8mprovements you can take on board for future jobs. Good luck, something new will come along.

I don't think you need to do anything to 'come back from it'. Just carry on, don't mention it to anyone and don't worry about it. You're not the first and won't be the last person to cry at work. Best of luck.

Boss is male right?

This job isn't for you because the leadership is weak. You should have raised the issue earlier? Well you would have done had you known what you know now.

Just take a step back and really consider if they are trying to push you out or if it's not the right job for you.

Can you give an example of how your working style irritates your boss, OP?

Why should other people have to raise your profile with the boss. How demeaning for you. Like he's some Demi-god sitting there surveying his minions.

Toxic environment, you're on a hiding to nothing. Go and find a company where your contribution is valued and your skills used.

So you told them you didn’t think you were capable of doing the job (after they said they’re not happy with the way you’re mananging an important project) and they basically said, oh thank fuck you said it before we had to, because we were going to fire you. But hey we like you so we’re going to try to find you a less senior position. Have I got that right?

You don’t recover from that. You dust yourself off and find another job.
