Worried about coaching/write-up at warehouse job after staging mistakes — am I overthinking?
I(21m)work in a warehouse staging pallets to the correct routes/rows. I’ve recently been coached and I’m worried about getting in trouble.
Timeline:
Tuesday: I was told to stage pallets by route/row. I made a lot of mistakes that day (probably 7+ wrong placements).
Wednesday: My supervisor told me the mistakes were going into a coaching log, but said it wasn’t discipline and that they would work with me since mistakes happen.
Thursday: I had a good day with no mistakes.
Friday: Things were chaotic. We were missing pallets and later found out two routes were combined, so everything got confusing. I was staging pallets throughout the day. I ended up missing one pallet (placed it wrong next to another row). I realized it after I got home and texted my boss to let them know so they didn’t have to search for it.
Extra context:
I just received a raise the same day they talked about improving.
In my evaluation they said I have a good attitude and they like having me there.
They told me I need to improve consistency and “lock in” for higher raises later.
My concern:
I’ve been fired from a job before, so I’m really anxious about repeating mistakes. I’m worried that having another coaching conversation or mistake might mean I’m close to being fired.
Question:
Am I overthinking this? How serious is a coaching log in situations like this, and does one mistake after coaching usually lead to discipline?
