The other day my manager was asked to do a last minute report. Myself and a few others had forgot to put the outcome of a referral on a spreadsheet. I saved the email of the outcome in the folder but forgot to duplicate the outcome on the spreadsheet but had put the case was closed. I quickly actioned it within the hour and told him so he could finish his report.

He was a bit funny about it earlier and I already explained last week I saved the email in there and forgot to update the spreadsheet. He don’t realise I have been overwhelmed with my work lately. I just feel I am being taken for granted and then penalised I made a genuine mistake as I was so busy. He said he and another colleague were working till 7.30pm as a director dumped this report request on him at the last minute while she went on annual leave. So the director had knew about it for a while.

Usually he is pretty good and doesn’t have any bad feedback. How do you not take to heart comments like this? I find it hard as I work so hard and all people can do is focus on fault finding at this organisation.

He was just moaning saying the outcome should have been put on there and I had already said I missed putting it on there and I had only half filled in. I think some people just find things to moan about or this director was on his case.

Just forget about it. He doesn’t seem to have penalised you at all.

I don’t actually understand the problem. Have you spoken to your manager about your workload if it is affecting you? If not he won’t know that. However, your manager is allowed and should speak to you if mistakes are being made to understand and to help avoid them being repeated. He isn’t moaning - Thats his job.
