  • I think most people drink or live in denial with themselves in order to cope.

    A healthier way I’ve found is to try to think about a time where someone else screwed up at work. Think of a time when someone misspoke, got emotional, or got flustered. I have a hard time thinking of one and would be hardpressed to call-out a single story in specific. This is likely what others think of your mistake too. It only becomes an issue when you can’t adjust or grow. Dust yourself off, move on, and improve for next time.

    I do think this comes with a caveat. There are toxic people and workplaces. This is its own challenge but may be contributing to your stress about things. There will be people that target you and belittle you for small mistakes. Work with them to complete jobs, don’t talk outside of necessity, and when you change jobs let them fade out of your life for good.


  • And with the context around it, makes even less sense.

    Luke 17: 1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

    2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

    3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

    4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

    5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.




  • Depends on how interested I am in the position. Personally, I would give them another chance but be looking for more red flags. I would modify my interview questions to be more direct and looking for further evidence of disorganization. Not knowing your industry, a few come to mind.

    • What is your on time project delivery percentage?

    • What is the most positive and the most negative feedback you receive from your customers?

    • What is currently the biggest challenge within this team/ department?

    • What is one the teams most recent accomplishments?

    Every company I’ve been in has some level of disorganization. While it’s frustrating, it’s typically not a deal breaker for me. I do tend to ask for additional compensation based on my perceived negatives of the company, assuming I’m not desperate for the job.
