Negative Manager Reviews Vs. Positive Peer Reviews

Hello everyone I have just started working for a company and I have been there for just under 3 weeks. I am running TikTok campaigns for an overseas company. I have been working in Social Media and Marketing for around 10 years. TikTok is new for me from a business standpoint. So far in 3 weeks they had 2 account managers quit, and one dropped out do to family issues. This job pays an ok base per month but no insurance, I am a 1099 employee. This week I had a showcase going over what I learned about TikTok and creators I like. Today was also my bi-monthly check-in with my manager. During the check-in she said we enjoy your energy however there were some concerns. There were some spelling errors in my presentation which can reflect poorly on the brands I work with.

Hello everyone I have just started working for a company and I have been there for just under 3 weeks. I am running TikTok campaigns for an overseas company. I have been working in Social Media and Marketing for around 10 years. TikTok is new for me from a business standpoint. So far in 3 weeks they had 2 account managers quit, and one dropped out do to family issues. This job pays an ok base per month but no insurance, I am a 1099 employee. This week I had a showcase going over what I learned about TikTok and creators I like. Today was also my bi-monthly check-in with my manager. During the check-in she said we enjoy your energy however there were some concerns.

  1. There were some spelling errors in my presentation which can reflect poorly on the brands I work with. (it was a peer presentation, so only some team members were there)
  2. She said my account manager seemed like she knew more about what's going on with my campaigns which today I did not have time to prep for campaigns due to the showcase presentation.
  3. Based on that info she felt uncomfortable with giving me more campaigns and not sure about my performance because the Campaigns did not seem that “hard”
  4. My attention to detail needs some improvement.

She said that I should not need a lot of hand holding after 3 weeks however I feel this feedback was arbitrary and only focusing on today rather than the past 3 weeks. I let her know I would work on these things, and come up with a game plan. I also checked in with my teammates and they said I am easy to work with and are happy with my performance. It almost sounds like they want to let me go because of these few things that can be fixed, I have only gotten half a check from them so far so I have not been as ready to go full on out. Should I work on these things and collect my paycheck? Or cut my losses? I have already been taking interviews with other companies and I have an awesome one set up today with a big company, a more low key role. Also how could I better handle negative feedback?
