I hate being stupid

Post Reply New Topic

At my job I learn slower than others, I am taking notes recently but my boss still makes me feel stupid and jumped down my throat for mistakes I made on stuff I have never done before. Problem is that the stuff I made mistakes on is mostly common sense which I lack, I am a really stupid person. I am stupid with people, my job, and my life.
My boss is giving training for bigger projects to two other co-workers that have been here around the same time as me, she's not giving it to me because she probably thinks I am stupid.

I'm sorry your boss is that way. Learning things slower than others doesn't make you stupid.

There are all kinds of intelligence. Just because you are having some trouble at work doesn't mean you are stupid. What kind of mistakes were you making?

The way your boss is handling things makes me think that she lacks the appropriate management skills. "Jumping down someone's throat" for making a mistake is not the right way to motivate employees to succeed, and she ought to know better.

There are times when "learning things slower" might mean that you do a more thorough job, and actually make LESS mistakes.

I don't recall the job that you do, Bane Bear.

It can take awhile to find a suitable job and coworkers. Have you thought of going in a new direction? Another job that may interest you?

I feel stupid as well and to be fair I think I do behave stupidly sometimes and that can overshadow any kind of intelligence I may have.

It is really frustrating when you see people getting ahead and you feel left out.
