Nervous day at work

Today at work I was troubleshooting a clients device and I messed up something making the client get charged for something he shouldn’t have and I got reprimanded.

I’m still new with the company but I apologized and my mentor just kept hounding me to make sure I read/follow instructions more clear.

I’m new but I don’t want to be let go from messing up but it’s bound to happen when you first start anything new. He said this isn’t fire worthy but I need to follow instructions better next time. I’m anxious to go into work tomorrow I don’t want my anxiety of today to carry on tomorrow.

Any advice on how to not fester up my anxiety and feelings, and just learn and move on?

You need to find a hobby that takes your focus off work, like playing an instrument or doing a physical activity like swimming, do something you enjoy and know that not every day is the same go in with hope that tomorrow will be a better day and take a few minutes more to complete the tasks check before you hit the button that way you wont be hitting the panic button and over time you will gain more confidence, but dont over think things either. 😊 smile and have a good day or in the words of free guy dont have a good day have a great day.
