I have been in so many jobs in which I have struggled to be fast enough, and to handle many things which are coming at me rapidly, to maintain my physical energy throughout the workday, etc. I do everything I can to be healthy and alert for my jobs (Public Librarianship from 2005-2015, and now child care). There are no "simple jobs" these days, with the possible exception of retail or cleaning hotel rooms or offices, and they don't pay a living wage, plus I would need to have some sort of accommodation (ADA, perhaps) because every joint in my body aches if I'm on my feet for more than an hour or two. I often have my confidence shaken when I find myself struggling to meet the expectations of my employees. I can't very well admit that the job is difficult or I'd be out of work and living below the poverty level - I mean I realize that nobody owes me a job or a living, but can you blame me for not wanting to be homeless? I always do my best. What can I do except keep trying to be faster and to stay calmer,( even when I get harsh criticism, sometimes regularly). I'm writing this post after having read, and identified with some of the posts below, about having co-workers who are bullies, or being repeatedly expected to help with "teamwork" when I am struggling to get my own work done, and am afraid to admit I'm having difficulty with that. Help please?
