Perfectionism as a new employee
Work & Career / by alwaysimproving913

...See more Hi all, I recently started a new career, in a new company, in a new industry, in a new country. Rationally I recognize that any one these single changes would be difficult on a person, but I can’t escape feeling like a failure at the end of each work day. Learning so much so quickly has been overwhelming which has compounded my self-doubt. I cried last week when my boss and I held our one month check in - something I’ve never done before and still shame myself for. I was honest and shared how overwhelmed I had been. In return, my boss was receptive but stated that the workload would only increase in this role and I may be better suited elsewhere. We will meet again next week but since that has happened, I have felt self doubt constantly in the background of my life, like a puppy biting on my ankles. I hope that makes sense. I really struggle with being authentic in the workplace and am as self identified people pleaser. I pride myself on my professionalism and feel comfort in the control associated with this. It’s been exhausting and I really am looking for some immediate relief just to get back to my normal self- especially so I can show up more rational to our next chat. Any ideas?
