The first time a boss corrects you, it stings. Good feedback usually means someone thinks you’re worth the effort.

Correction stings because it arrives with your name attached. The alternative is worse and far more common: being quietly written off and left to keep making the same mistake unbothered. Somebody spending the awkward thirty seconds on you is usually betting that you will be better next week.

When you next get corrected, say thanks, ask one clarifying question, and change the thing by your following shift. Visible correction is what turns a telling off into a reputation.
