Dear mumsnetters
Just to explain, started a new job in a different field (slightly) worked in financial sector for 12 years, recently made redundant with half my team from a job I had loved and excelled in due to a merger. So I started with a new company, an LLP. I am supporting 3 partners, it's busy! Previous post holder regularly worked overtime and had gradually built up to the full role over 7 years. I say this to explain a little why I struggled in the first few weeks, very little training, super busy and by their own admission I had been dropped in the deep end at an incredibly busy time. First month went well, first review excellent. Then I made a couple of mistakes and it is here I need your views. 1) whilst primting a large number of emails for one partner I forgot the original email and just printed attachment.2) I removed a work at home diary block whilst putting in a meeting (it was a call) and was agreed it could go in there, quickly reinstated the block out. 3) Didn't chase hard enough on a meeting rrequest 4) sent an email message to ask partner to call but forgot international dialling code, all this over a month. In the midst of all this I managed a very heavy work load without any serions mistakes. Today I was told that they would not be keeping me due to my mistakes. I held it together, finally broke down and had to go home. Are these really bad mistakes? I've sort of lost my confidence and perespective, once one mistake was bought to my attention it made me nervous and I compounded it ..I think. It's been an awful year, mum died, other things, previous job loss as posted, please help me with some perspective?
