Well that could very well be the case, but as the one experiencing the problem you may be the most qualified one to find the answer as you’re the most familiar with it.

I would at least make it a habit that when you bring up a problem that’s going on, you communicate that you’ve thought up a couple solutions but they may not work. At least then your boss will validate your “not so great” solution and if any more problems stem from it, you were just following orders.

It’s a little cliché but I’ve always like the quote “The challenges you face today prepare you for the challenges you’ll face tomorrow.”

Every problem isn’t going to have the same solution, but sometimes solutions you’ve learned from other problems can help you out.

It sounds like you’re at a sink or swim moment in your career. Don’t let new boss watch you drown, get in there and show him you can do it.

Depends on your workplace and relationship with your boss. I used to work in manager/director positions, and I never fired anyone based on peer feedback - that’s very poor management policy.

Managers should evaluate and review employees under their supervision, and directors should do the same for managers. No sane director would fire a manager over a single employee complaint.

As a property manager of a storage facility, we have automated systems that call and leave messages on phone, text, and e-mail every day,”and at least personally call once a week, for all tenants who are not current with their bill. A unit goes to auction after three months of nonpayment. With all of that, we still have auctions every month constantly. Why I bring this up, is the simple fact that a-lot of people want to be mad at the storage facility for selling their stuff, and don’t take responsibility for their own actions. OP I’m so sorry you are dealing with this depression that kept you from facing life’s responsibilities, but good for you for remembering that it was your tifu and not trying to advert blame. It shows good character, and with that mentality you can bounce back and make sure you never make a mistake like this again!
