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.
