Cards on the table

Today, I'm thinking of quitting the awesome job I love with coworkers I adore, because I keep fucking up every part of my job, making them pick up the pieces and correct my failures. They don't deserve this. FML

Have you asked them to assist you in learning about what you are screwing up? Most people are willing to assist if you ask, as long as you are sorta grasping it at least

Are you actually messing up in every aspect of your job or is that the anxiety talking? And if you are genuinely messing up, are you actually unable to improve or just anxious and panicky? If your coworkers didn’t think you were capable of learning they would not be as gracious as they seem to be from your post. Take a deep breath. Pick one process of your work and ask a coworker to walk you through it. Take copious amounts of notes, ask dumb questions, the whole deal. Then try and focus on mastering that one process first. If you mess up, ask if the coworker can explain exactly how and what you can do better. Then once you’ve got that part under control, repeat the process with the next part of your duties.

I have done what I do for over a decade. trained a dozen people in various areas of my trade, been the most experienced in the shop and the one ******* everything I do up... sometimes on the same day. the fact is you will continue to mess up, but if you love what you do and where you work, you will eventually mess up less often and eventually be good, or at least ok at what you do. Big note, if they actually enjoy working with you they probably don't actually mind fixing your mistakes if you are good to work with and legitimately trying to get better at it.

I’m the same way where I work. I keep ******* up lately

Hang in there until you pull your head out of your ass or they fire you. You can get unemployment benefits if you're fired, but not if you quit.
