My coworker keeps messaging me about mistakes in my work and now I think I’m too stupid for my job. I think I’ll get fired. What should I do?

If it's valid feedback just say thanks, if there's hostile languages remind them to behave professionally.

If the feedback isn't valid or they're acting like a psycho, forward it to your boss and ask them to talk to the co worker for you, and to process any additional feedback from them through your boss as intermediary.

Take no shit from people at the same pay grade.

Generally, if we bother messaging you with mistakes, it's because we think you'll grow from the feedback. I messaged a coworker with 4-5 mistakes yesterday, today he seems to have fixed all his mistakes, so tomorrow I'll tell him he did a good job.
If someone is just a retard, we won't bother, we'll write their manager and just do the work ourselves to get it over with.

[Tinytina09]

That makes sense. I am just having one of those days where my head is up my ass and I’m being hard on myself.

[TallAnon]

That happens, no need to feel bad about that.

[WhitneySnow]

Unless your coworker is also your boss, Dw bout it. Maybe block them if they get too annoying?

[Tinytina09]

He’s not my boss. But I feel like he critiques me more than anyone in the group.

[Tinytina09]

I’m having such a bad day already. Anyway he said to not worry and that this is a learning experience... but I feel like I’m not able to do anything right or add any value.

[WhitneySnow]

Can you block him or is that against work rules? If you can’t, just try and tune him out. He’s not your boss. He can’t tell you what to do.

[WhitneySnow]

Ohhhhh

He’s actually being nice

Don’t block him. But don’t be discouraged either. You’ll get better. I might still tune him out if his critiques get on your nerves.

[Tinytina09]

He thinks he’s a superior. Same with this one other guy who keeps talking down to me and my other female coworker. My other female coworker never talks down to me and actually ends up being right about so many things. Anyway, I am still useless to my team.

[WhitneySnow]

You’re not useless. Just tune them out and focus on doing your job.

[WhitneySnow]

And as long as he’s not actually your superior I don’t think you have to listen to what he says

[Tinytina09]

Yeah but if I don’t reply they get annoyed. I think I’m going to lose my job cuz I am a dumbass. He even said something about getting work done by eod today and I had it done this morning, but he sent the work out earlier to the client yesterday.

[WhitneySnow]

Focus on making your boss happy. Dw bout your coworkers.

I gtg. But good luck.

[TallAnon]

Blocking someone at work is a really bad idea, just wanted to point that out. If it ever crosses your mind, instead talk to your/his/both managers.

[HumeyraHaktanır]

Anyone can make mistakes, but know this, you will never be fired.

[jshm2]

Are they genuine or just nitpicking, that's the question.

If it's genuine, then be more attentive. If it's not, then HR and note everything.

[Tinytina09]

I think it’s genuine but I’m afraid to make any mistakes and have my boss see.

I've noticed that happen after those COVID shots...

Look for something that fits you.
