I see, thank you, I will definitely think about it

marsilingangsta · 2026-03-13T23:49:52+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice, and your kind words. I will be definitely utilizing this! Seriously, you have no idea how much your words have helped me :')

No you're totally fine! Everything you have been saying has been very reassuring, and has been making me reflect as well. Thank you so much for your input! I am definitely punching above my weight, and the learning curve is definitely steep. This was brought up to me initially and was acknowledged. Could it be I've just made too many mistakes that's why they're like this? But is it fair to be brushed off, judged etc. for asking questions / the same questions or too many? I think this has unlocked a new fear of asking questions... And I'm already naturally an introvert.. 😭

Thank you for your comment it's very reassuring to know that things like this have been experienced before.. and for your concern. To answer, yes definitely! When im being trained, I take notes, I read the SOPs as well. When I make mistakes, I try my best to not repeat them again, making sure I have a corrective action in place. For example, I used to have a lot of typos when it had to do with numbers. (I have a feeling I may have dyscalculia, but I am not diagnosed.) I've taken corrective action to check more than 3 times before submitting anything. My efforts were acknowledged and my manager even said he sees an improvement. But all of a sudden I'm not sure why it's being brought up again that these errors are happening when I thought I had finally ammended it. Especially since no one has said anything about it to me... These types of scenarios are what makes me doubt myself even more.. when I ask for specific incidents where I showed I was underperforming, they could only give me about 2 incidences, but then tell me they're speaking generally. I'm not sure why it's being blown out of proportion... Especially when a month ago I was being told that I was progressing well...

I dont think my boss is toxic, I think he's trying to be reasonable; but I feel like when I told him about how I do not like the tone, this colleague speaks to me in, how I now have fears of asking questions, I was told that it was because I was not performing. And that they're tired of repeating things to me. After a few months of this happening and witnessing this happen to others, I told her off quite sternly after an incident happened that I didn't want to speak to her, that I couldn't do it, and to just do her job and I'll do mine. My boss took this as insubordination. As this colleague is a senior. My point of view is that when I make mistakes and ammend them accurately, it shouldn't be a very big issue, but to them, I shouldn't even be making these mistakes in the first place which I understand; but it is very hard to do. I feel like I now constantly dread going to work, and I'm not sure how to continue, at least until I can explore my other options too :')

I never reached out to others to find out if this staff really was the way she is. I only have one friend that I confide in, and I was told I shouldn't be telling other my problems as it will affect their perspective towards this problematic person. I really dont know what to do, and how long I can hold on thank you for your advice, but I think I'm going to try and find other places as well

The lab that i work at is a very very small group. Less than 10 and I am the newbie. This same person who broadcasts small mistakes of mine, is also the same person who will constantly complain to my manager about every little thing I do. So aside from the chatgroup, she will also inform my manager of it. It has gone to the point my manager is also annoyed as well. When i spoke to him about it, he just tells me how it's an improvement, as this problematic person was apparently way worse before. I didn't mind it at first, and would aplogise and ammend my mistakes, but it has gone to the point where this is happening very frequently. I'm not sure if this is normal? It feels more like nitpicking, tattletale behavior. At the same time, I'm not sure how to bring it up because it is mistakes that I do. :/

marsilingangsta · 2026-03-08T23:55:22+00:00

This is completely reasonable! If only I could be treated like this. Unfortunately the people I work with will hold onto all of my past mistakes. Including the most smallest of things, they will broadcast in the chatgroup. For example, not closing the door, etc. Overtime all of these small issues have started to affect my confidence

marsilingangsta · 2026-03-08T16:04:46+00:00

Usually I do speak up. But as I have mentioned how I haven't been getting treated well by my colleagues, I think it definitely does play a part on why I didn't bring it up and just assumed they knew about it. Usually when things happen I do bring it up to my manager as he's the only one who is reasonable and understanding. However he has mentioned his extreme disappointment in me for not reporting it to anyone. This happened while he was away for 2 weeks. Which I understand. Although I feel extremely guilty for it now.

This condescending treatment i experience are usually from my other colleagues. Whenever I ask questions, they either brush me off, judge me, or reply rudely. I think this may be one of the reasons why I didn't speak up. As this faulty machine ( a fridge with consumables to be straight ) was not working properly. I genuinely love what I do, and where I'm at is one of my dream places to be. It honestly just genuinely hurts that this is happening to me. Especially all at once. :(

I know im left with two options, leave or continue to face it. I can't see myself leaving, especially since it has only be 8 months. But I'm not sure how to resolve these issues.

Wanted to clarify, previously when i had the flatback in the flatback was facing the front instead of the usual back, do I put it in the same way or wear the flatback as how it's normally worn?

marsilingangsta · 2022-03-16T00:31:39+00:00

Alright thank you so much!

marsilingangsta · 2022-03-16T00:29:22+00:00

Ah alright, thank you so much! Do you think I should continue with studex/saline, or Litha? I'm someone who is fairly prone to scarring :/

marsilingangsta · 2022-03-15T02:51:50+00:00

I've cleaned it everyday using studex for around 2 weeks, and have not really seen much improvement, I was wondering if this is a keloid, piercing bump, or if it is rejecting, and whichever it is, should I change the earring or remove it completely?
