Personal Post

So this is probably my 2nd or 3rd personal post about my feelings and week. I recently started a new job, my first job ever, and on my 4th day I was pulled aside by my manager to be told that there have been complaints. I was so in shock that people were already complaining about me and that I had done something wrong. I totally thought I had been doing well. But the complaints were nothing too major, just, one customer said I didn't seem approachable and that I was totally confused when she asked me about a product. I can change the approachable part in an instant, but knowing about products might take a while, so I hope my managers understand. Another things that totally made me sad was that coworkers of mine were complaining about me. That totally caught me off guard because they were all giving me positive feedback so I felt a little betrayed. They said it seemed as if I wasn't giving enough effort or trying to learn anything. As upset as I was, I took it in a positive way to seek improvement and try harder, and prove to my coworkers and managers that I definitely want to be there and will be putting lots of effort into the job. As my managers were telling me about these complaints I was so disappointed in myself that I couldn't help but begin to cry. It was so embarrassing but I explained to my managers that I was fine and would try harder.

So this week I will make it through by being positive and showing my managers that the little side conversation did have an impact on me and that I'm trying to change. 

Instead of taking that conversation negatively and being upset, I'm going to prove to everyone that I can be the girl I was at my interview and bring my A game. BTW am I using the correct phrase? He-He, I'm not sure but whatever.

Have a great week everyone and if you're going through the same thing I am going through....Prove to everyone that you can be better.
