Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[(Anonymous)]

My coworker has started pointing out every time I do anything wrong, and I don't know if I'm just taking it personally, or if she needs to scale back.

I mean, I am screwing up, though I don't really know why. But there's things I seriously would've just let go if I'd been her. OTOH, to be fair, I have messed up on some larger things, so maybe she's... trying to help?

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

Is she a coworker or an authority figure? Cause it seems that would,n't be the job of a regular coworker?

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[(Anonymous)]

It's... not quite that simple. She's above me in the chain of command, so to speak, but not really my boss.

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[kallanda_lee]

Is she supposed to mentor or monitor you, though?

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess when you put it that way, yes. Mentor more than monitor, but yes.

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[kallanda_lee]

Okay, then it sounds like she's trying to do that, just not very well? Are you assertive enough to bring it up and say this isn't really helping as constructive criticism (and maybe offer info on what would be useful)?

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[(Anonymous)]

I can probably figure out a way, yes. She's very nice, so I'm not sure she realizes it's getting a little old.

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm honestly not trying to be mean here but do you think it's possible that from her viewpoint, your regularly occurring screw ups are "getting a little old", too?

Re: Non-fandom confessions.

Well, there are a few things to think about. Do your mistakes affect other people? You're downplaying them a lot in your comment, but I'm kind of betting they do. Also this phrase stands out: "I am screwing up, though I don't really know why".

That's not good. If you don't know why you're making mistakes, it's going to be damn near impossible to stop. I guess the question I have is why don't you know? Is there a chance that you actually DO know, but shrugging and going "I dunno" is your way of (again) downplaying the mistakes you're making and possibly also downplaying the aggravation and extra work you're creating for the people you work with?

All that aside, it can be highly frustrating to work with someone who keeps screwing up all the time and doesn't seem to care. I get that it stings to have your mistakes brought up, but the best way to avoid that is to focus on the tasks you're supposed to do and make sure they get done accurately, and in a timely manner.
