Lately, I’ve been feeling like my boss is watching everything I do. He’s questioning everything I do and constantly pointing out even my small mistakes. I try to say something from time to time, but I get scared and stay silent. Being under this kind of pressure at work affects me a lot.
I had a similar thing happen to me. My boss was constantly checking what I was doing. In the end, I spoke openly about it; the atmosphere relaxed a bit, but I really struggled.
What exactly are those small mistakes you’re talking about? Are they things that could cause serious problems, or are you exaggerating minor issues?
@kahvebitmeden it’s actually not a big deal, like submitting a document late or something. But the situation always escalates accordingly.
@soncaykaldi, what changed when you said that? I mean, I don’t think these things can be solved by talking like that; the boss is someone who doesn’t understand this kind of stuff anyway.
Customers being overly controlling usually indicates a lack of trust. In such situations, you might consider how this behavior negatively impacts job performance before having a clear conversation. However, if you’re feeling uneasy, consulting with an employment law expert could also be an option.
it’s just unbearable, you know? I couldn’t stand it like this.
Why does the document get submitted late all the time? If the same mistake keeps happening, it seems strange to me that it isn’t being checked. You say it’s blowing up over the mistake, but it seems like you’re not doing anything for a solution either.
Why did you submit the document late? You didn’t explain that part, for example. Was there really an excuse, or was it due to lack of planning? If you’ve made this a habit, it’s normal for it to raise some eyebrows. However, if it’s just a mistake, and you’re being addressed for it so much, that’s a different matter. Which one is it?
