You seem to have a lot of shredding going on with that final slide of the knife as someone else has also pointed out, are you sure all the burrs have been cleaned off when it was sharpened? Or did you start cutting straight from the box?
Why is it getting worst i swear yesterday was better?

Definitely mostly good. A few are off in thickness but that’s always going to happen a bit. Just focus on keeping your knife sharp and your hand movements steady.

Some of the pieces in this batch present a choking hazard. See u tomorrow.

I worked at a ramen spot years ago. Multiple 22 qt Cambros of razor thin scallions were needed daily. They had to be perfect every time or else the owner and chef would ridicule the shit out of you.
Or worse, make you use their knife. For some reason this stings more than the ridicule.
Zooming in, your chives lack consistency and look a bit lazy. I can see from the edges your knife is not sharp enough. Work in smaller bunches so you can maintain control and keep an eye on your knife work better.
As someone who doesn’t work in the restaurant industry but does enjoy cooking, I have learned so much from these posts! I think it should be a monthly occurrence that a new food item is picked and someone not great at it has to keep getting better and show us the progress so we can learn from their mistakes.
I also appreciate this as someone who really dislikes getting surprise large chives in my food.

It’s perfect. Great job, you are finished with these posts now.

Center, a bit to the bottom, is one light green piece about 1 centimeter long.
Try again.
Make these posts for another month

So close
Are you intentionally keeping a few large ones to lay on top now?
I don’t care one way or another about this guy’s posts…I’m just here for the grumpy “I hate this” vs super into it critiques
how are you regressing? day 4 rocked, i spy some logs hiding in these bushes
nope, still have some mistakes in the center, see you again tomorrow chef!
I see a regression. Maybe the new knife threw you off or something. I’ll see you tomorrow.
You did better yesterday.
See you tomorrow

Sharpen that knife and focus.
