You think working is easy?

I am a data coordinator and sometimes overlook certain data however I think I do not deserve the scolding, read on and decide I should deserve this scolding or not. I have sorted and put in the data according to the list given to me and the most unsatisfactory is I was being reprimanded for not entering other data that is within data. For example, I have a road named Boston Road however, some houses belongs to Golf Road's address and according to the list, I did until the Boston Road and left the Golf Road untouched. In addition, on the list, there is no Golf's Road entries, so how am I going to find the data and enter into it????? If I entered the wrong data, I deserve the scolding however, I did was right and also get reprimanded. I told her that in the list, it is stated daisy road but some houses belongs to Golf road so I have to do until daisy road and left the other untouched. This came the furious comments that I should do the same to Golf Road data. I am not the only person dealing with this data, other people are dealing too except it maybe at different places. If others have done, what is the purpose for me to do it again?

Thank you for your wishes, it is very frustrating to meet this kind of people in the company. As a quote saying life is about challenges, whether you lose or win, it depends on yourself. I truly believe this is true and it is a fact, we must face challenges bravely.

Things like that is common in a workplace. I feel for you though that you are only doing your job but they are asking for more... so you have to be clear with them and ask them what you really need to do first and so that is where you should focus on. I believe though that bosses dont have to "scold" us when they see some errors in our works. i always believe that if one does wrong, he shoul dbe corrected properly. We are professionals, after all and if corrected the right way, we do better next time and we can understand that by them simply telling us what needs to be done.

I thought of it too, everybody makes mistakes. There is no need to scold people just inform the person that he/she has done wrong and need to amend. If he/she doesn't amend the mistakes, that person is preparing to face the music.
