How would you deal with “New job jitters” ruining jobs?

I never really had this issue until I was made redundant in 2021, since then I’ve had 3 jobs and made a mess of them all. I guess it’s almost like the opposite of imposter syndrome where someone doesn’t think they’re good enough yet out perform their colleagues but you still can’t convince them. I know I’ve got the experience and qualifications but like a car merging onto the motorway I stall at the vital moment or crash.

It’s like once you get the job you care too much, you’re keen to do a great job but the opposite actually happens, mistake after mistake after mistake it’s like your previous experience or knowledge has been locked off unable to be accessed and you can’t do anything right and the more you try the worst it gets. I’ve quit 2 jobs because of this embarrassment, I’d have quit this one 2 but the UK job market is poor and in my 2 years searching can’t find anything else. I’ve also learned once people label you as “Useless” that’s it there is no coming back from it regardless what your CV or references say.

What Dunnes Stores in NI still sell food?

I miss the one that used to be in Magherafelt, it used to sell quite a few southern food items I’ve not seen since it left and their own brand foods were good quality. Are there any up here that still sell food?

Petty workplace practices?

What’s some of your worst you’ve come across?

In my current job all toilet roll is kept in a filing cabinet in the main office, apparently someone was stealing it at one time but reality being they probably are too stingy and they figure having to go into the main office to get toilet roll and suffer the embarrassment it will put people off going and thus saving the company money.

What happened Storm Dave?

Yellow alert from 2pm but nothing much happening, we’ve had drizzly rain on and off all day (Cookstown) bit of an occasional gust but nothing to get excited about, certainly nothing that would remotely lift a trampoline. Looking at the weather for hours ahead 20? Seems to be highest wind is going
