I don’t mean this to be callous, but I’m not sure a new hire can accurately assess the magnitude of a mess up vs someone who’s been around 5 year. Something you think may be small may actually be something that feeds into another assumption or output that you just don’t know about yet.
Also in general new hires have to face a lot of scrutiny, how else are you going to learn. If I mess up a footnote it’s bc I was doing it at 3am or I’ve got a million other things, but if a new hire nesses up a footnote we don’t know if it’s bc you’re tired or bc you didn’t know how to make it correct. By default, your team has to call out all those mistakes or on future projects you may be missing critical skills
Thanks M1 love you too ❤️
I would look at it in terms of relationship building.
Once you have a relationship with a client, you can manage through a small mistake. If you don't yet have a relationship, a mistake shapes what that relationship looks like.
Your team is hoping that you develop credibility and relationships with the client, and that's likely why they're focusing on the errors. If these errors can be managed effectively, you'll be on a good path to developing the relationships that will afford the occasional slip-up.
LOL
Me too
I promise you that you’ll be thankful for it in the long run. The extra scrutiny you’re getting now will make you extra conscious about making those small mistakes. When you’re a higher level and those mistakes will have a much bigger impact on the project, you won’t be making them anymore.
They have street cred for the things they have done well in the past 5 years which offsets the mistakes. You are new. This is normal in human society. Focus on establishing yourself, going above and beyond and ensuring quality. You can't be the new guy forever.
