Job Anxiety

Does anyone else feel like you're going to get fired if you make the smallest mistake? Or scared everyone will find out you don't know what you're doing? Or scared to ask certain questions because you're afraid what your superior may think of you? 


I am constantly worrying about everything and anything. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I think more people  feel like this then will admit it.........    I have done many temp jobs where they want you to be up to speed very fast and yet the incentive to learn everything is not there if you know it is a short time maybe a year of work.   

Most places have a learning curve........ and they want questions even if they are basic in the beginning  ... i often say i want to review an item in the process or such....just to reaffirm that i have it .... 

In my experience those who do get in trouble are those who hide they do not know how  or understand something....... past when all questions are welcome.and they assume you know it  ...... and then a mistake is made.
