My Friend!
I'd give you a big hug if I could, but you are not an idiot. I work in a place as prepress manager. I feed three presses, do the design work, do the plating and manage the work flow. I'm solely responsible for all jobs from when it leaves the sales department to when it gets onto the press. I make mistakes.
This problem is with the organization. They are trying to go hardest, fastest first & now with absolutely no regard for accuracy. They are running on a bad paradigm. Your manager needs to get his ass kicked too. Writing down your every mistake is the wrong way to go. Pure crisis management never works.
I just think you are so stressed and micromanaged you CAN'T do a good job. My company hates to wait, but sometimes, they just have to. It's the nature of it. Prepress will always be the bottleneck of production. If it's possible, try to make a push to get accurate plates and at least 3 to 5 days ahead of the presses so you can slow down. I mean, it's not realistic, but it's a good goal to shoot for.
