Is it me?

Hi. I have a new job with much higher expectations than I'm used to. I have trouble focusing and am easily distracted. My boss has spoken to me about this but here's the deal. He wants things done his way. If I don't do it his way he gets frustrated with me. I see no harm in doing things differently as long as the same outcome is produced. He wants me to fi it his way. I admit I've made some mistakes that are all easily fixable. But because I've made the mistakes apparently I'm not focusing on the task at hand. Blah blah blah. They don't call it micromanaging they call it ensuring safety and quality! Assholes. Anyway,this environment is very stressful for me and its effecting my life. If any focus at work because I'm thinking about my personal problems and I can't focus at home because all I think about are my work problems. I need help. Where did you think the problems rise? Is it me?

I have been working for over 40 years, and I always go along with my bosses as long as they are not asking me to break any moral laws I hold dear. Otherwise I learn things the way and perform their way. Eventually they step back and allow you to be yourself. Good Luck and just breath. You will Rock that Job!!!

I want to be changed my way doing other situation. What I getting problem should ask more with my staff and case manager. I'm to trying this career again because this girl always helped me out the company. I'm wanted to doing for her I'm wanted to working at the casino with her again. Me & her was working as team work like the previous company. We did in working as together again.

Opinion Pollist at Self Gary Richardson For Governor

Pam, Sometimes we start a new job and it does not turn out as we envisioned. If you are not happy keep this job and pursue other employment opportunities at the same time. With you getting this job you should not have a problem finding other positions that you are qualified for. Perhaps you could go through a temp agency and try different jobs till you find one that fits you. It could be a personality conflict that you have with your boss. If it is a big company perhaps you could ask your Human Resources if they can place you elsewhere. Good luck and God Bless.

Many managers are micro managers and you have to learn how to pacify them and make them think you are doing things just as they suggested. Once they feel you are under control and following orders as they suggested they will give you some breathing room. There are always exceptions to every rule so you may just have to play nice when they are around and roll your eyes and blow once they walk away. Do not let them crush your spirit and feel bad about yourself.

You throw your ego out the window. He is the only one you have to make happy. Why undermine your self. The only thing you need to do to be successful is what he wants you to do. If you cant do that for whatever reason, then quit. Your only going to get fired. He will never see it your way

unemployed needing work asap

you'll be in my prayers, just try to keep your head up and enjoy life for the time you have here, when i feel like the whole world crashed on me when my gfather passed with colon cancer I had to take care of him til the moment he was gone, so I know what your going through, he once told me never stop beliefs about anything, and always take care of yourself as well as you do those who are around you. seems i always cut myself short, but I learned to take those words in and it has bettered my life.

I been there and I am still working on troubles focusing and easily distracted. Despite this I try to stay positive and have faith even when I open my mouth to say something plus concentrate on the words I say so something can be understanding when I speak or have a response to someone. I try to say a small prayer in my mind soI won’t be distracted at work and keep positive thoughts even when someone tries to get me down.
