(sorry this is long, I just started and couldn’t stop)
I'm a 57F professional working as a Contracts Specialist for a large Tech Company. I discovered I have total Aphantasia about 2 months ago. I hate saying it that way, I "have" Aphantasia. It sounds like a disease or something. Still working on a way to word that when I share this with people who have never heard of it.
I have spent the months doing as much reading and self-searching as possible. I immediately felt relief when I discovered what Aphantasia is and have never had the feeling that I am missing out by not seeing the images, but I can sure understand why some would feel that way. For me it was the answer to questions I have been asking myself all my life. I just found out "I'm not crazy" AND "I'm not alone". I've never posted anything like this before, but when I joined, reading things like this from others when they first find out they are an Aphant was very helpful.
Some things I have thought about since learning this about myself.
Psychology Profession and Memory Loss - I have known I have a bad memory since I was a kid, I never understood why I couldn't remember things until someone "triggered" the memory. Once triggered, I can remember things fairly well. As many young adults, I had some issues adjusting to college life and chose to seek help with a professional. This was my first experience with being told I must be repressing a traumatic experience from my childhood. We spent many months/years and many tears trying to determine what that could be. Now I should add I was abused as a child and had remembered and dealt with that. My parents ended up shipping me off to my Grandparents to get away from her influence. But answer me this, if I remembered it and dealt with it and no longer had negative consequences from it, why didn’t my memory get better? Over the years I have seen a couple other therapists that wanted to concentrate on repressed memories because of my memory. I went along for a while but finally became convinced that there were no other memories to find. But that profession took a lot of my money, time and emotional wellbeing - yet nothing was ever discovered. I doubted people in my life that I never should have. Now I believe Aphantasia should be a part of all professional training for mental health wellness. I'm old, so maybe it is now??
Fake Memories - After experiencing this kind of high pressure "therapy" I can totally understand how people create fake memories. So many thoughts and details were provided during these sessions, I could have easily started to "make" things up and that leads to believing it happened in that environment. As a woman, I am always looking to please people, I tried to please my therapists. Aphantasia or not, false memories are not as hard to plant as you might think especially when that person is trying to make you happy.
Being Present - This has been a big thing the last few years. People pushing for you to be present in your life. Professionals have also mentioned that my memory issues may be due to the fact that I have never "been present" in my life. It took a few sessions to understand what the hell they meant and then spent much time trying to "be present" and I the only thing I determined is that I have always "been present" as best I can! I stopped going to therapists after this one.
Objects & Memories - I now understand why I have been holding on to things that most people would have let go of by now. For instance I have a large stuffed animal collection and have always told my husband I could not get rid of any of them as each one is a trigger for a good memory. I am afraid if I get rid of it, that memory will be lost forever. If the memory really does go away, then I can get rid of that object. If there is no memory trigger, it's pretty easy to let go. Same with taking photos, I have a better understanding of why I always had my camera out. Without a picture, did it really happen? Not in my memory!
Deep Connections - Aphantasia may be a factor in my perception as to why I cannot make deep connections with people. Because my brain does not pepper me with visions and thoughts of loved ones, I don't think about other people very often. I don't know what people mean when they say "I miss you". I truly am an OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND lifer. When I have expressed to others that I feel that way, I have been told they feel a deep connection and don't know what I would mean by deeper. Now I believe since I don't think about others often, I've just convinced myself over the years that my feelings must not be deep. If it were deep, wouldn’t I be on their minds like I am on theirs? I am starting to understand things a bit differently now, I love and care DEEPLY for the people in my life, I'm just not triggered to remember them.
Learning/Training - I have always had issues with classroom learning. I have trouble concentrating on what is being presented unless there is some kind of hands-on activity associated with the training. I recently moved to a new position at work, I used to be a corporate trainer. To start my new position there was a large learning curve. I found when someone one told me something about the job I needed to see it or even better perform the task myself. That is not always available in training situations. It has taken a while to get up to speed in this position and I was doing a great job of beating myself up about not catching on quickly. I must be getting old, I thought. I was usually frustrated as a trainer when I had to train people my age, they just didn't seem to "get it" when others did. Well here's my payback, now I have to learn and I'm the one not "getting it". I do really wish I had known about Aphantasia/Hypophantasia/Hyperphantasia while I was a trainer. I think about all the improvements I could make on the material if I knew how the student's memory worked. I never really used much visual assistance, other than performing the task in front of them, and now I think that would have been helpful for "normal" memory types. The good thing about my memory is that once I understand WHY something is done, I've got it, it's in the vault. I actually do better than most others once that lightbulb goes off. Sometimes it just takes a while to really have that understanding. I am very detail oriented and technical; I can pick up computer operating systems quickly, they make sense.
Face/People Recognition - I have a hard time identifying characters in a movie, especially if they are wearing similar clothing or haricuts. I even have difficulty remembering my waitperson after talking to them directly. I usually remember if they were Female or Male, but not always. If I need something from them, I am awful at locating my wait person. I usually end up asking some random employee. Once I am familiar with the person, I will recognize them, but there has to be some kind of connection made. This has proven to cause quite a bit of embarrassment when I run into someone I have met and have zero recollection of who they are or where I met them. Unfortunately, this has happened more than a handful of times. It makes the other person feel bad and that's the last thing I want to do.
Another thing I noticed that I believe fits in this section, is how people can imitate others. I now understand how they can do that; they actually have a mental image of that person doing something. They can see them moving, hear them talking and then interpret that to an imitation. That was one of the many lightbulbs that went off in my head while researching Aphantasia. I mean how does someone tell a sketch artist what someone looked like after a crime? Not only face blindness but adrenaline flowing as well. But some people can remember down to the angle of their eyes and shape of the mouth. That has always been such a mystery to me, how can people do that? Now I understand, they actually SEE the face.
Processing Information - One thing I have been wondering is if Aphantasia has anything to do with how fast my brain processes information on the regular. I have been called a fast thinker when I come to a conclusion quickly and process what is in front of me quicker than others. I notice this when playing games, learning and putting things together during a conversation. I have the ability to see the big picture which allows me to put things in place and make decisions quickly. It drives me crazy when it takes my mom 5 mins to make a move in a game. I can understand that a bit better now, so learning this about myself has also helped me understand others. Others have all kinds of images they are needing to process to decide. And after sharing my findings with my family I have determined that my mom is a Hyperphantasic. Her memory is amazing, she remembers everything from her childhood from 4yrs on. I've always been jealous of that kind of memory.
I even understand how Chess works and what they mean by look ahead 5 moves.
Psychedelics - In the Aphantasia community, I have FINALLY found kindred spirits when it comes to experimenting with certain drugs. Aspirin, Antihistamines, pain killers and other prescribed drugs work just fine. But when I have taken any illicit psychedelics, nothing happens. The first time I noticed I was not as affected as others was in college. I just figured everyone else was really exaggerating and I wasn't interested in trying again. But I have since tried experimenting again with my husband who has gotten into Microdosing. We thought it would be interesting to take a recreational dose. He had an awesome time with lots of visuals and motion. For me, nothing. I could make the grass or a picture on the wall get "movement" but nothing like what he was experiencing. Decided to try again, this time with my sister and husband. I took a double dose this time just to make sure I would feel something. Nope, nothing. I have tried up to 10g at a time with nothing (DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL). I have never heard of anyone else having this kind of experience until I joined this group. There have been several people indicate they have similar experiences including one who even called out that they don't feel anything more than a minor wavey feeling.
Now I think it is probably for the same reason we don't have a "minds eye". Some synapses somewhere are not sparking normally. I do believe for some Aphants, this does actually lead to some visual or other sensory experiences they have not had before. But for some of us, we don't have the ability to "Trip". This is probably the only thing I have found that I don't like about Aphantasia. I have been able to put a positive spin on most of what I have found, but I do wish I could experience that feeling others have while taking a "Trip".
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? – This is a question that I have had to answer many times in my career, it is one of the favorite questions asked during an interview. I’ve never been good at answering that question. Others would provide great details on where they see themselves going, but I have never had the ability to look that far ahead. I don’t see myself anywhere specifically, I tend to follow the opportunities that come my way.
In conclusion (yes finally almost done) I've gone 57 years telling myself I can improve my memory, "I'll remember that if I really think hard" but I never do. Or I try to make sure I am "Present" so I can remember, nope, doesn’t help either. Now that I have an answer that explains my brain is acting differently than most people, I don't kid myself anymore. I'm just not going to remember and that's OK, that's how my brain works and part of who I am. There is nothing I can do about it, no more wasted time working on my memory!!
I can honestly say I am grateful to learn about this memory process and for the ability to move on from difficult situations. There are many more things I could get into, but that would be an even bigger book. My sister can get stuck on something that is difficult for her to get past, the images of bad things “haunt” her. For me, as soon as the actual event is over, it may take a few days depending on the severity, it is buried and does not "pop in" and bring me back. If only I had known this when I was younger, I can only imagine what I could have accomplished! I imagine my self-doubt/hate could have been less with this information as well as the therapist bills that could have been saved. This is such important knowledge, I am so happy to see research being done!! I only hope the information continues to spread so more people are aware. I don’t know if all the things above are in direct relation to Aphantasia, but my eyes have been open to these differences.

I thought the ending was over all pretty nice
Hole was defeated and the characters all went back to living their best lives
Caiman and nikaido are running the shop
Sorcerers aren’t attacking humans (most are dead)
The en family has continued on (I do wish shin and noi started dating or something that was my biggest ship in the series)
I think the story wrapped up pretty well. I guess there could be more story if Q hayashida wanted to since I guess hope still exist in some small capacity, and is with baby chidaruma. A sequel would be interesting and enjoyable but it’s not needed. Kinda wonder what dokuga and tetsujo are up to in the hole.
Normally I don’t like stories where it feels like there’s more to tell at the end but I’m pretty okay with dorohedoros ending.
How we got to that ending I think it was pretty good. I don’t think it felt rushed and the whole final arc with the central department store was pretty amazing IMO.
Some lingering thoughts and questions about the series:
What the hell is kikurage? It has horns and a tail but it’s not like any other devil we see. The wiki says it’s a magic user, but it can’t be just a sorcerer. Idk maybe it was explained in a volume extra.
Fujita being so weak and yet still being a central member of the en family is really interesting to me. I don’t know how he got there because up until him turning invisible he didn’t have much use. I’m sure just about every lower employee of en would be stronger than him. Even in the first chapter he was able to just walk up talk to en about matsamura dying. Maybe he was a lower level and he just was able to weasel his way close to en because of the “lizard man of the hole” situation that he was kinda leading. But en still knew him by name. I ramble but this is really interesting to me.
Is En the leader of the sorcerers? Is there any kind of government? There was prison and the guards were not in en family unform. The prison was also directly connected to hell and devils went there to kill people. Maybe devils run the sorcerer world with chidaruma being the leader.

Here is the context: my wife sent over a non refundable deposit to take a course for her business as a trainer. Then they sent over the contract.
Here is the part from the contract that looks concerning.
Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation:
You may not attend the training for any purpose other than that for which we make the training available. The training must not be used in connection with any business endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by us.
As a Student of this Training you agree not to: : Use the training as part of an effort to compete with us or othervise use the training andlor the content for any revenue generating endeavor

By entering this Agreement you agree not to use or challenge the Intellectual Property Rights disclosed herein and that you agree to not copy nor disseminate any copyrighted materials or reveal trade secrets.
Knowing that my wife is already a trainer and I understand the Non competes don’t hold up between employers and employees in California. Do they hold up with students and educators?

A little chaotic at times due to style or understatement? In short: Chaos and Steele Leaf I did a lot of things for a friend of a friend.

Hi all. I help run a small family-owned business, currently with around 50 employees. The employee count sometimes goes to 100, since we have seasonal employees that aren't always around.
Right now we're using a very barebones timeclock that simply shows the dates and times that employees punch. It isn't able to differentiate between time in and time out, which makes it a pain in the butt since we have to manually identify them in excel. I'm looking for a more robust time-clock machine/kiosk that can help keep track of employee working hours. This will make it easier for our payroll team to help calculate wages at the end of each pay period.
Required features:

• Needs to be a physical machine or kiosk that employees can go to and do their punches. I know a lot of modern time-tracking services are online and use your phone or something, but many of our employees are older or are not tech-savvy, and so this is the easiest way for them.
  
• Some kind of internet connection that lets me access the machine and its records remotely from anywhere, preferably through a web UI and not a phone.
  
• Fingerprint and RFID card punching. Some of our employees prefer doing fingerprint, so we give them the choice. Right now all of our employees have 125kHz RFID access cards, so ideally we'd want to use them for the timeclock machine too and not have them retain two separate cards.
  
• Be able to automatically calculate the amount of time worked for each employee.
  
• Be able to track employees who punch more than twice a day.
  
• Be able to differentiate between in and out punches. For example, we have some employees who leave in the middle of the day to run personal non-work related errands. When they punch, I want the machine to be able to know which punch is them leaving, and which one is them coming back, and be able to calculate their hours.
  
• Be able to set a time offset for breaks and lunch. For example, lunch is 30 minutes, so ideally the machine knows to automatically subtract 30 minutes from the total recorded time for each employee each day.
  
• Be able to export time records and attendance reports in excel format, preferably CSV.
  

Bonus features that are nice to have but aren't required

• Be able to identify late/tardy punches. Allow us to set a custom grace period, after which a punch is considered tardy.
  
• Be able to identify duplicate punches. Sometimes accidents happen and employees will double-punch. Currently I have to manually identify these and delete them myself. It'd be nice if there was a way to set a grace period of a certain time interval so that an accidental second punch doesn't get recorded.
  
• Would really love one that doesn't require a subscription. If we really have to though, we can accept paying a subscription.
  

Ultimately, I'm just trying to make things easier for our payroll team when they need to calculate payroll. Ideally, I would like to just give them a list of all employees and the amount of time they worked during the pay period, and that's really it.

I am the IT Director for a country club and a constant nuisance factor for me is our "setup" for handling broadcast TV in member and staff areas, approximately 35 TVs in 7 buildings, including a free-standing restaurant building with 12.
Up until about 15 years ago, we had a "centralized" DirecTV setup -- a stack of DTV STBs in a closet with IR repeaters and the signal delivered to the sets via some low-tech direct connection (maybe coax, it was long enough ago and wasn't working here permanently at the time nor was I involved in it). We only had maybe 8 TVs at the time. That setup got ditched due to rain fade issues (or so I'm told) in favor of a Comcast cable based solution, which will still use. A Comcast STB at every location :-(.
The recent breaking point has been a mix of issues, from Comcast's "business" TV support being pathetic on every level, losing sporting events to streaming channels thanks to our "business" TV being basically Comcast's consumer product, and F&B staff being super frustrated juggling a dozen remotes and walking around to switch channels.
Our GM has struggled to stop looking at this like consumer home TV/streaming until recently. He thinks logging into Amazon on every TV is the fix for Thursday Night Football, as just one example.
My wish list of things:

• Centralized channel control in every viewing area (roughly 7-8 areas) -- but must be dead simple enough for a 23 year old F&B employee to operate
• Ability to inject arbitrary HDMI-based content on any TV, but we don't do any custom in-house video and this would largely be for private member events
• Eliminate STBs at every TV
• Not cost $100,000

We have a coax drop and an ethernet drop at every TV. Our Ethernet network is actually half-decent, we have multicast capable switching, dual 10G links between buildings. Our campus network is routed, with a /23 per building (/22 in the clubhouse).
Right now the biggest pain point is at the standalone restaurant due to 12 TVs and a high membeleadership emphasis on sports programming. My not-super-well-informed fix idea for this location is:
1) Switch to DirecTV for Business -- AFAIK, DTV for Business doesn't lose sporting events when they go streaming (Thursday Night Football, that Peacock game during the playoffs) and hasn't lost our local baseball team's regional sports channel. They have an app for centralized control of STBs.
2) Rack the DTV STBs in the data closet, and distribute the signal to the TVs using Brightlink HDMI over IP devices. Staff can change channels using the DirecTV app. An extra Brightlink converter can be used for member provided content or other events.
I think this would work, but then I start reading about stuff like the COM3000 unit and wonder if it would solve this problem campus-wide, though I worry it would be overkill for us. We're "big" by local standards, but not like some major Florida resort.

I've worked as a waitress for five years and I've regretfully taught myself to never assume people share the same basic knowledge you have and to dumb down anything even if most people already understand what you're talking about.
In other words, if you're ordering a CHEESEburger, you should expect that burger to get CHEESE on it. Or if you order a steak, you're getting beef and not chicken, pork, or fish. Sadly, I've served guests who didn't make these connections and would not only complain, but throw fits and sometimes go as far as asking for a manager. In the end, a perfectly good plate of food ends up in the garbage. Like, dude, what do you mean you didn't expect me to put cheese on your burger? You ordered a cheeseburger. It's in the name!
Then there's situations that are a bit more complicated. For example, my restaurant serves an appetizer called "totchos." In case you weren't aware by the addition of "tot" to the name "nacho," these aren't traditional nachos. They're called that because you're getting loaded tater tots instead of nachos. You'd think people would see that name and either expect to get tater tots or at least ask what they are, but I've served an alarming number of people who will get the dish and realize that they aren't nachos.
"Where are the chips? I thought these were nachos..."
"No sir, they're totchos. That's why there's tater tots."
"Oh, well that's not what I wanted. I want a refund."
And usually, they don't realize this until after taking a bite, which not only means I'm forced to throw the food away, but also that I have to explain to my boss why we have to comp a $20 food order because they didn't question why our menu called nachos "TOTchos" instead. This has actually become a staple for me when training new employees because I absolutely refuse to watch another beautiful order go into the trash. Seriously, these things are super good. What a waste of food.
If I've learned one thing from this job, it would be to never assume. Not just for the server, but the customer too. Humans aren't mind-readers and we're likely to make decisions that lead to mistakes because we assume we know. It's better just to ask questions and confirm things only to look silly or obvious rather than make a mistake based on your own assumptions and deal with the consequences afterwards. It's not like I've gotten into trouble for these things or anything, but man is it annoying at times.

In an increasingly interconnected world, businesses are looking beyond their borders to expand and grow in the global marketplace. One of the biggest challenges that comes with this endeavor is the language barrier, which can hinder communication, negotiation, and ultimately, success. Enter ChatGPT – a sophisticated language processing tool that is poised to revolutionize how businesses overcome linguistic hurdles and foster international partnerships.
ChatGPT, powered by artificial intelligence, is adept at understanding and generating human-like text, making it an invaluable asset for companies aiming to navigate the diverse linguistic landscape of global commerce. With its advanced translation capabilities and context-aware dialogue skills, ChatGPT ensures that no nuance is lost in communication, which is essential when dealing with the subtleties of business jargon and cultural differences.
By implementing ChatGPT, businesses can seamlessly translate emails, documents, and even real-time conversations, allowing for smoother negotiations and reducing the risk of misunderstandings. Moreover, it can be integrated into customer service platforms to provide support in multiple languages, thereby improving customer satisfaction and brand loyalty worldwide.
ChatGPT also serves as a learning tool for employees, equipping them with the ability to comprehend and communicate in different languages. This inclusivity fosters a more diverse work environment and allows companies to tap into a broader talent pool.
But it’s not just about translation. ChatGPT can analyze market trends, social media conversations, and consumer feedback across different languages, enabling businesses to gain insights into international markets and tailor their strategies appropriately.
As we look to break down language barriers, it's clear that ChatGPT's role is more than just a translator; it is a bridge builder, connecting markets, cultures, and people. As businesses incorporate this technology, we are likely to witness growth that is not only multilingual but also multifaceted, leading to a more integrated and prosperous global economy. The use of AI-driven linguistic tools like ChatGPT could very well be the game-changer for businesses seeking to maintain a competitive edge in the global market.

Currently our Hybrid WFH/Office employees have a Desktop setup in the office and at home. When they work from home they VPN into the office and RDP into their office PC. It works fairly well with the exception of their office PC needing to be rebooted every once in a while because they cant connect, or if we have a power outage or the accidently shut their office PC off before leaving.
Now that most of our stuff is cloud based (not all), I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to move them to laptops with docking stations. This would result in fewer devices to manage, but in the past when we've given employees laptops, they seem to last a fraction of the time that desktops due. Whether its from damage the employee causes, or hardware failing, they just don't seem to last nearly as long.
Wonder what others are doing and how well it's going. Maybe some laptop recommendations, etc.? Thanks!

I am 18yo male, just graduated high school. My dad owns a decent sized construction LLC as a general contractor. We both have intentions of me taking over the business later on. As of now I plan on doing an online CM degree through LSU maybe (I heard theirs is very good) and I plan on working during this (looking at sales as of now). My overall plan is to make the company much bigger and maybe even stopping the general contractor stuff. My dads business as of now consist of fairly old traditions and we have around 15 employees(contractors) who all can do basically different things, but I want it to grow, I feel we are limiting ourselves as of now. I would like to progress towards an area that is growing rapidly (north lake,Texas area) and get much more business. I would like them to post on job apps offering people positions so we can get a head start and not wait. So my question is, what can I do to prepare for my future role, and what should I do to learn most I can and be successful, I know I need to start making connections and a name for the company, I also feel like we need to start getting more modernized now. Any advice from business owners or people who know a lot about the industry, I know I’m in a good position and I have bigger goals then just making the company big, I want to do big big things like maybe multiple businesses. But this is where I need to start. Thank yall.
Ps: I have worked for my dads business every summer and breaks for like 4-5 years, the sales role I’m looking at is for a large commercial remodeling company

I feel like I’m dying on the inside.
I’ve been working a corporate gig for about 2.5 years now. I am not a corporate person.
It’s a very VERY small company. I’m one of four people.
Of the remaining 3, the owner is late 60’s and is facing a terminal illness. Employee 2 is his sister who I adore, is in her 70’s, very part-time and is planning to retire. The last employee is in her mid-50’s, has known the family since she was little and got her position that way. She’s been here forever, and she’s also a passive-aggressive gossiping bully.
I’m a woman in my late 40’s. I’ve of mixed race and look Mexican or Native. I landed this job by sheer luck. My boyfriend did some tech work for them and introduced me. I have no ties to the family.
We are a company that caters to very wealthy, conservative, Caucasian men. The owner and co workers lean that way as well.
I have been struggling since I’ve started here. Not because of my actual workload. I excel at what I do, have been promoted in a short amount of time and have been financially compensated appropriately.
The thing is, I’m dying on the inside.
Nothing I do really matters. It’s empty work that doesn’t align with my sense of values. I feel like I’m not contributing anything to society.
I don’t connect with our clients. I’ve worked here for almost 3 years and no one knows who I am. I’m invisible and I can’t pretend race doesn’t play a factor in that. I’ve brought that up to the rest of the group, they downplay my observations and talk to me as if it’s my first day being a brown person. They can’t understand how I would be treated differently, and bless their hearts for that ignorance, but it leaves me feeling very alone and disconnected.
I can’t deal with the bullying behavior from the 3rd coworker. She’s power driven and manipulative. The owner and the sister know this and have seen it for themselves but will do nothing about it. I’ve already had conversations with the bully about her behavior. Sometimes she’ll admit to it and things will improve for a day or so, other times I’ll get the silent treatment.
There is no HR department to go to. I’ve put up with it or just let it roll off me, but I had a final straw last week that I can’t overlook anymore.
I’ve been apathetic for months now, and toggle between feeling nothing and rage. I’m waking up in the middle of the night stressed out over the idea of coming to work every day. I’ve put on a ton of weight and have somehow aged so much in such a small amount of time.
Here’s the curveball.
I will be starting a new life with my amazing partner. We just bought a house and will be relocating 150 miles away at the end of June. I told my job, everyone freaked out for a few days, but agreed to let me work remote but continuing traveling for events that we sponsor.
At first, I was on board with this plan, as it is so generous to offer it, but the more time that goes on I don’t feel I can do it. My chest burns at the thought of being involved here anymore.
I have this opportunity to start a whole new life. I’m sure I could find new employment where we’re going. It won’t pay as well, I guarantee that. However, I don’t want my partner to bear the brunt of any financial losses we will incur from my decision. Especially during this time of transition.
I really should be happy and grateful with my job. There are so many people who know this company who would kill to have my job. I’ve been told that to my face. I DO know how fortunate I am. but I hate my existence. I hate waking up the days I have to report to work. I’m good at my job, but this job isn’t good for me. Sometimes I wonder if I’m keeping someone else from their dream job by hanging on here, but I feel pressured into staying. It’s getting to the point where I’m isolating myself. I don’t go outside. I don’t take care of my space or myself really. I’m starting to contemplate hurting myself.
Am I being too thin-skinned? Right now, I want to tell them I’ll work remote until the end of October then be done. Six months would be more than enough time to find my replacement. I'm in a hybrid position of 3 different roles in the company. It would take that long to train someone appropriately.
Or do I just suck it up and see this as a paycheck and that’s it.
Please help.
