OK, this is a reason why I should die right here.

Accidentally writing something wrong one time doesn't make you stupid. They can probably fix the error too somehow. Also, even if someone is stupid, that doesn't mean they shouldn't live.😳

Agreed to this and also... you cannot possibly believe that you're the ONLY employee who has done this. If you have to keep your own time sheet, mistakes will be made from time to time.

It's hardly the end of the world although I understand why you would be upset. But just keep in mind that this is fairly minor. You're reeling from what sounds like rejection sensitivity. If you can, take a step back and look at it for what it is: a mistake. Not anything that would bring an end to the company.
 
@Metalhead
This is a chance to stand up for yourself to your own self. You were taught to always think of yourself in the worst way. That comes from your mother who you know is manipulative and damaging.

Your boss’s reaction of not trusting you is hurtful. That is understandable. A few times, you have thought that things at work were worse than they turned out to be. You feel badly about this situation. That’s okay. Let’s not turn that into a declaration on your worthlessness as a human. That sounds like your mother’s voice. You can tell yourself something different.
 
We all make mistakes. I have made some serious ones and could only think worse of myself if I did not learn from them. Life sometimes seems to be one misstep after another so I had finally decided for peace of mind to Embrace Imperfection.

My wish is for you to recover from your error and stay engaged with this community.
 
I was unemployed for two years once on strike for six months, got fired a couple of times never did any thing nuts like get drunk take illicit substances, my solutions were further my education, join negotiating committee for next contract or other constructive solutions.
 
Don't let them win and get you depressed. Get a focused kind of angry instead. Write down all of their mistakes...all of them. Present those in a hopefully long list, and then tell them you sent them to people above them because of how you felt treated.
 
So you were fired? Sorry to read this. Are you applying for anything? Don't be so hard on yourself. How is the job situation there? It's a tough market in the city l am in.

I made an honest mistake on my time sheet today. I forgot that I showed up to work one hour late last week because my usual bus was a missed trip and did not show up at all, so I had to catch the next one an hour later. My boss called me, took note of this mistake, and accused me of trying to steal from the company. I apologized and said it was an honest mistake. My boss did not want to hear it.

I will spend the last of my cash having a blast this weekend. A final blast. A final grand great time.

What is your occupation? I'm late for work almost every day, but no one cares.

I agree any job that nickel and dimes your time, is probably not a good position. nobody ever bothered me, came in planned my day did what needed to be done

And yet I hear people telling me I will never find a better job for myself than this one.

I should become a NEET and live off SSDI alone. I would lose weight if all I ate was cheap ramen noodles.

Do you think being self employed would work in your case?

Stupid me gave up on my dream of making a name for myself as a film critic just because my family very much disapproved of me going for that route and sabotaging me when I was treating it like a second job. I threw away over a decade’s worth of writing, and they were happy I did that.

I am too stupid to live.
 
If you are an Aspie like me you probably have unrecognized strengths most of us do, As I tell, let your light shine you will be noticed. I strongly suspect Linkedin charges a premium and supports this site looking for out unusual skills when we show case them. Before I mentioned this a year ago, every month I would get Ceo's directors of companies and owners checking out my profile, even through retired. Lets turn the table show case your skill sets,

You are being to hard on yourself, I did not have the confidence to pursue my dream become a theoretical physicist,
still landed on my feet. The first step is believe in yourself. lucky for me I always did, thought bad luck followed me around. Fought back. Did not know the real reason was being on the spectrum. My first boss had a Phd, hired me as a lab tech on a coil coating line I guess he could tell I was different.
 
Okay that's what I thought.

You're catastrophizing this incident then. Yes, you have to be careful. That does not mean you're a worthless human being.

As I said, you're hardly the ONLY person who has made an error on a time sheet. You're beating yourself up over basically nothing.
