What to do if you’re not liked at work?

I’m an apprentice in a supply chain role and lately it feels like I’m constantly failing expectations at work. Even when I try to do things properly, it seems like people are frustrated with me or think I should have done something differently.

Sometimes tasks people expected me to do weren’t even clearly asked of me, but I still end up feeling like I dropped the ball.

It’s starting to feel like I’ve built a negative reputation and that people just don’t really like me.

Has anyone else been in this situation? Is it possible to recover from that, or once people see you a certain way at work is it hard to change?
