Does anyone else have seemingly perfect co workers?

[Lizzie523]

I would say I always produced a high quality of work and still do most of the time.

But lately about 15% of the time I am making small errors. Most aren't important, mainly just little details that I usually wouldnt miss.

I have some co workers who keep pointing these out to me and in front of the wider team. The 2 people in question make me feel incompetent. 1 of them actually sounds fed up when she speaks to me, I almost felt like crying today because she was so frosty towards me.

Are people out there really managing to continue producing the same quality of work pre pandemic? Because there are times when I am struggling with it. I am staying afloat but that is about it.

Some of my colleagues persistently make errors all the time and it affects peoples lives and thus is unacceptable. I admit I get highly irritated when they aren't pulled up on it, but if it's just small errors that have little or no consequences, i think I would just let it go.

The errors I have made recently have been mostly small. Forgetting to add a detail here or there, publishing this article instead of that other one. Things I would never have done before.

But these colleagues I am talking about have a great support network at home and partners they can switch off with at night. Having broken up with my ex partner last year I am single and living alone. I did quite well first time round with lockdown in terms of looking after mental health. But it is getting harder now. There is only so much yoga a person can do. What is it all for? I do feel it makes a difference.

I feel I am doing my best and still making some errors each week. Meanwhile my co workers very very rarely seem to make any errors at all. I am amazed at people whose productivity seems unchanged. It makes me feel I pale in comparison and I dont really feel like my usual working self.

Oh dear - I have two people here working at home one is loving it the other is struggling to stay motivated and misses the camaraderie etc of working with others.
Is there any way you can speak privately to someone in your work and explain how you are feeling?
Is the issue motivating yourself to stay interested and afloat?
I do sympathise and it must be very lonely
