I’m almost 21 and have been working my current and first job since May 2024. It’s data entry but for a serious organisation (not trying to be vague, don’t want to dox myself). Long story short I’m a bit shit at it. I make lots of mistakes without realising it, don’t get some of it and even after having extra training and there are serious repercussions if something goes wrong because of the seriousness of the job. I’m having to go in for extra training all the time, getting everything wrong and losing motivation; my supervisors are noticing and I think I’m at the end of the line.
I think leaving is the only option at this point but I’m terrified. My parents will go mental. They’re already always pissed because I’m an autist and have no friends/life so losing this will drive them up the wall. I get four days off after working six shifts of alternating hours, the pay is decent for what it is and I get to work from home, I’ll never come across a job like this again and it’s just data entry but I keep mucking it up and I don’t think I can do it. I have enough saved to pay my dad rent for months but I’ve heard the job market is brutal (UK) and they’ll be on my case until I get a job again only made worse by the fact I’ll just be a jobless shut-in again. I haven’t told them I’ve been struggling for months because I’m scared shitless of how they’ll react and now I think I’ll either get fired or quit myself. How can I tell them?

Under UK law you're shielded to some degree from being fired both in terms of why and when. Quitting comes at no benefit to your own person and you're not going to get some medal for doing so.
If you suck at your job then get better, if you really can't get better then start looking for a new one in the meantime. Never quit a job without having other work lined up.
>How can I tell them?
You're 21, earn your own money and wouldn't be financially dependent on them. You don't have to let them know that you might get fired for not doing your job properly but it'd be nice of you to tell them once you do.

Thanks.

Your bosses seem unusually kind and generous if they keep retraining you rather than just firing you. Maybe they would be open to a request to reassign you to a different job you can do

I'm not sure you have much option at this point: if after trying everything you can reasonably try, you simply can't do the job, then you have to stop doing it and look for something that is within your abilities.

>>33378044 (OP)
how much of a fuckup are you that you can't do a job that a.i. could do right now? just stop being a fuckup. it *is* that easy. you're clearly brain rotted from your smartphone or being on this site 24/7. You would think your mind would focus a little harder on your job considering what's on the line.

Some of us can't do anything well and we're just supposed to live with the lifelong bullying from every employer no matter where they go

That's your problem is hoping society will die off but it wont. We will continue and you will suffer until you adapt or die. Stop being a moron and focus on what is important instead of fleeting pleasures/instant gratification. Your parents must be massively disappointed.

Exactly what he said. I’m 23 started this job in this hospital at 19. It was a terrible spot. They taught me terribly. I worked hard but ultimately left and went to a different hospital after being used really. This hospital is top 10 in the world amazing place to work at and amazing managers as well. But I wasn’t the best employee I had to learn and do more and become better at my job.

Adapt or get fired. If you get fired it will be extremely hard explaining that gap. And it’s basically going to be I wasn’t working because I didn’t try hard enough. No one will hire you. If they’re willing to retrain you that’s good some places just toss you out.

Anon, we all fuck up at our jobs. If it is your first job, your first time in the working world and are new to your specific job environment then you're going to make mistakes. You take that as an opportunity to improve and ask yourself where you're fucking up, where you're going wrong, not blaming your coworker Dave or blaming traffic for why you're groggy and thus underperforming, but accepting that you're fucking up because you aren't doing x properly or aren't doing the method correctly, so you work on getting better and correcting your fuckups. If you leave the job or not, you'll still be a new guy at a different job and if you don't get your ass in line then you'll encounter the same situation of fucking up and not improving

Some of us have been trying in fact. Trying to mimic normies ideas or normie ways of thinking our whole lives. Get it through your pinhead: some of our brains do not work like yours.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, no matter our level of effort or passion.

I hope you give your bootstraps rant to the wrong person and they go postal on you. If that doesn't happen day of the pillow will be soon enough anyway.

Where in the fuck did I say "hey bro, if you're poor then just don't be poor" I didn't say to pull yourself up by your bootstraps you fucking moron. You're getting pissy at us for giving you advice on an advice board. You're projecting your own personal spiel as a way of blocking out what is being said, it is rooted in an emotional place of personal failure. If you don't want advice and only want to be told what you want to hear then go fuck yourself

>>33406894
You said "hey son, if you're bad at everything then just don't be bad."

>If you suck at your job then get better
This exactly. Why are you still making the same mistakes that you have been for the last year? Either you aren't taking the job seriously or you're actually that retarded and should get an easier job.
