    I think someone just didn't like me but really hard to dust myself off from! I'm sat here going to myself "I am not a failure, not a failure, not a failure" and "It's not my fault, not my fault, not my fault"..... It's not helping but then I was told on an nlp course once that your brain doesn't recognise the word not... which is why they tell you to set positive goals rather than negative ones ie "I will get that job" rather than "I won't fail the interview"

    Still sat here crying though


    ok how about i am a hard worker ...i am a strong person ...i will get through this ...i am worth more ...this is just a test i will pass ...

    you are a good person you will get by and you are worth so much more this is just a blip

    It just sounds so ridiculous to me. I don't know how they could say that to a person. Did any of your colleagues say anything?

  • SH, so sorry to hear what happened. Too task focused? Surely that's a good thing isn't it?

    Well I think it is very sneaky. Surely they could have had a meeting with you and discussed this.

    You are an intelligent woman, I'm sure you could have adapted your style to suit what they want. How are you meant to read minds when they don't tell you.

    A**holes :mad:

    personally i think that is the biggest crock of brown ever!!!

    Too direct and task focussed?! Basically you dont suffer fools gladly and are more competent than the rest of them, and it would eventually show them all up!!!
