I feel like I am no good at my job and that I'll get fired... What should I do?

[Anonymous]

So I got hired as a remote business analyst 3 weeks ago. On paper, I should be really good for the job, and honestly I am. or was. I don't know. I know all the technical things I need to know and have the people skills I need, but for some reason I cannot stop fucking up at work. My tasks constantly need to be edited by my supervisor and boss, multiple times. I keep making silly mistakes left and right. Things that imply that I did not pay attention. But that is just the thing. I did. I even record my meetings and agonize over them. I listen to the again and again to make sure I got everything and still. Still I fuck up. I don't know maybe I am just dumb and this is the first time I discover it. I am still in my 3 months probation and am just worried that they will turn around one day and fire me. maybe I would deserve it honestly. I am trying my best. I really really am, yet I still fuck up.

Maybe the right thing to do is just quit...

Edit:

My mistakes are dumb things, like posting a request in the wrong place in Jira. Having a spelling mistake in content sent to developers so the content needs editting. Having a document I am working on not done correctly. Not understanding things about the flow of the ERP system my company is using. So far I am not causing any customer facing issue. It is just general small things that I keep fucking up, but they are still fuckups nonetheless and I would understand if I got fired for that.

Superiors are very good at evaluating the works and they can say with a few days if the person they hired is good or not, or promising.
I think is because you re still young that u dont do things perfectly.
Working and studying is very different.
You improve every day no? Are you still making the same mistake over and over?
As a advice i will say: take your time with your work, dont stress too much and dont be afraid to ask advice to others.
Its been already 3 weeks, its a good begining i think. Keep going. Even if u are be fired, its a good experience for you, so dont be stress too much. ;)
Hope it helps

Thank you for the tip. I think my insomnia is playing a large role in this. I hardly get sleep so I sometimes overlook things even if I read them 5 times

Chill and stop stress too much. I think you re doing great here. Some people dont even last one week. Have some confidence in yourself

Sometimes it can take 3-6 months to get the hang of things at your new job. Keep trying.

Dude you are not going to magically become the office Jesus overnight. It's going to take time, there's a learning curve with everything. Don't be your own worst critic and don't be your own worst enemy. Those are small fuck ups. Just relax and do your job, don't worry about it until your boss always looks pissed when talking to you.

I appreciate that advice. Thank you

Nobody nails it the first day. Just continue to improve. The fact that you can identify things you are doing wrong will be a big help. Just pay attention, watch you spelling, learn the company software and keep improving. Show a good positive attitude. You got this.

Don't be so hard on yourself! You've only just started. Overthinking is adding to the stress. I think you're anxious because it's all new and that's reflecting in your behaviour but it's OK! Just relax and go with it. Be more positive and kinder to yourself it will help! Trust me.. I know!

Never quit over being fired. You pay into unemployment so its foolish to quit and be unable to draw unemployment. 2nd most hr departments will not disclose why you no longer work there. Lawsuits basically limit the info they can release. It sucks to get fired but having unemployment while you look for a new job is a hell of a lot better than having none and looking for a new job.

Wait Until Or If You Get Fired Worry About It When Or If It Happens.

Here is simple advice from someone who enjoys carpentry. Measure twice and cut once.
Double check your work. These silly mistakes sounds like something you should be able to catch.

Did you receive a training plan? Are you following it?
Talk to your boss. Ask for feedback.
Starting a job isn't always easy. You need to lean on them a little. It's in their best interest to support your onboarding.

If ur gonna quit make sure you have another job first. Also learn from your mistakes, that's how you survive.
