    Default Is it common for new workers to mess up a lot on the job?

    When you guys first started a job was it common that you messed up a lot or did you see other newcomers messed up a lot?

    I'm not sure if its common, but I would assume so. I myself was a wreck when I first started my job. I went in my first couple days thinking all I'd have to do is be confident and work hard, but soon I would find out that none of that is good enough for the boss. As soon as my boss started getting on me for all the little things I did wrong I turned into a nervous wreck and started messing up a good bit. Soon enough I realized thats just how bosses are supposed to be and regained my confidence.

    For me it was quite easy because i already knew how it should go ... but still yes i did mess here and there mostly with something new showing up now and then or because i was still learning German ... But i still do see new comers mess UP A LOT ... but it all comes to on how fast you can adapt to situations which come up at work ... My Job is quite random i get to do everything that gives ^^ so it lets me learn to adapt fast on various situations ...

    Still yes its normal to mess up because you are still new and learning...
