HI,

This is not a "love" question per say, but I am struggling right now and would like to hear from others who may be.

I have a job that I really like, and I feel like I am failing miserably at it. Its very demanding and challenging. The problem is that I keep making mistakes. I just can't seem to get my groove on. I have been there a year and 1 month.

I don't know what to do, and I feel like giving up and going to work at some stupid job just for a break. I have had a lot of crappy jobs in the past. I always like my work, its usually the people that drive me out. I am a hard worker. I try really hard to do a good job too, but that never seems good enough. Either for them, or at this moment, for me.

I know that I am fairly smart. I just don't understand why I never feel like I fit in, or that I just can't do my job. For whatever reason. I just feel like complete crap.

It also seems too, that jobs don't train their people anymore, and coworkers are really not supportive. It almost feels like some people try very hard to see you fail, in spite of the fact that you may be helping them out.

I don't know. I just don't know what to do, and I am really tired.

Hi Gina,

Thanks for the thought. There is training at my company, but it is not directly job related. And they do have a tuition reimbursement program that is great--I just don't have the time to take a class with the time I am expected to put in at work!!

I think that your answer brings up a good point though. I was thrown into things and I guess maybe I am not prepared for them. I hate to admit that too! I have practically begged my boss for any kind of class/training that would at least get me going. "there's no money for training" So, I guess I will wait and see what happens.
