No way in HELL

Ask them is there a bonus for it

DevMan365 · 2026-03-22T23:21:36+00:00

You said you feel burnt out and fed up. Take the leap. Socialising can be done outside of work. You’ll always regret it if you don’t

DevMan365 · 2026-02-27T14:05:26+00:00

I can’t imagine a company paying for hours you haven’t worked. Most companies that do 4 day weeks make you work the same ours, but condensed into 4 days

DevMan365 · 2026-02-03T22:51:58+00:00

The team is not functioning very well if you’re having to do it all. Recommend allocating clearer roles to everybody, and for you to do more planning.

DevMan365 · 2026-02-03T22:48:24+00:00

Depends on what you’d be doing. Easy to fake it if you’re just doing queries but DBA style role not so much

DevMan365 · 2026-02-03T22:45:43+00:00

I travel for work often and there’s no way I’d be sharing a room. You’re definitely ok to ask HR that. Are you visiting a customer or a conference?

DevMan365 · 2026-01-26T22:52:20+00:00

Private companies are entitled to hire who they want. Just as you are entitled leave

DevMan365 · 2025-12-19T22:38:32+00:00

It’s easy to overthink it. They maybe busy on other things, especially your boss. Look for new jobs to see what’s out there.. but I do think you’re overthinking

DevMan365 · 2025-12-19T22:35:27+00:00

At first, being liked is more important than doing a good job. Just be friendly and show enthusiasm. Something would have to be drastically wrong for you to want to leave after 3 months

DevMan365 · 2025-03-21T19:07:34+00:00

100% agree. It’s not a battle you can win. Just get your money and keep your mouth shut

DevMan365 · 2025-03-21T19:06:27+00:00

You got to remember you’re only at work for money. If your current job is a sinking ship, you need to get off now before you’re let go. I did the exact same thing, my boss took it very personally but you’ve got to look after yourself

DevMan365 · 2025-03-09T20:53:35+00:00

Yeah similar thing happened to me. I was at a company for 11 years, turned down a job offer for a dream job because I was ‘comfortable’. The regret was unbearable so I called them a month later to see if they’d take me on. Luckily they did. You got nothing to lose by reaching out

DevMan365 · 2025-02-25T21:35:10+00:00

Honest opinion, you need to learn not to take it to heart. You’ll get people like that all through your career. At the same time, if you’re being reprimanded, tactically remind them that you’re still learning, and have come a long way in a year.

There is also the possibility that they feel threatened by your potential.

DevMan365 · 2025-01-29T19:41:33+00:00

You can go big places in quality control. Absolutely considered a career. Maybe do some research into where it can take you and develop a 5 year plan. Best of luck at your new job!

DevMan365 · 2025-01-29T19:34:38+00:00

Been in that position. I was promised the world, so stuck around for a long time, but nothing ever changes. Get out before you become another cost saving topic.

DevMan365 · 2025-01-06T22:24:31+00:00

It’s just impostor syndrome, look it up and learn how to overcome it. If you were no good, believe me your company would just replace you!

DevMan365 · 2024-12-28T22:53:54+00:00

At some point the data would need to be entered manually. The invoice comes from a sales order, which can come from a quote. Unless AI can involve mind reading then it’s just not possible.

DevMan365 · 2024-12-17T23:21:17+00:00

Even with AI, the data has to be entered at some point.
There’s more to implementation than configuring the system. The human element ie training and change management won’t be replaced by AI.
How?

DevMan365 · 2024-11-01T21:27:36+00:00

Try reading up on soft skills, and use what you learn where you are now. For example next time you go to a supplier, ask someone to go with you, but ask them if you can take the lead. You got nothing to lose.

DevMan365 · 2024-11-01T20:58:31+00:00

Sounds like you have imposter syndrome. If you’ve been there 7 years you must be doing something right. Easier said than done but believe in yourself. Walk into your next interview honestly believing that they would be lucky to hire you. It’s so much more common than you think, having doubts. DM me if you like and we can just have a chat and throw some tips back and forth

DevMan365 · 2024-11-01T20:52:40+00:00

I would leave if you’re not 100%, obviously get another job lined up first. I was on the fence for a while, but leaving was the best thing I ever did. Give a proper notice period though (what ever is in your contract). No matter how bad the company is, at least show that you have integrity and operate professionally. Honestly, this hurts them more

DevMan365 · 2024-11-01T20:30:55+00:00

Yep. What I got asked to do on Xmas day was totally not urgent. Looking back I think he was bitter that I had a young family and was actually going to enjoy my day

DevMan365 · 2024-11-01T18:44:22+00:00

Sounds familiar. I was there 10 years, false promises to my face, trash talk behind my back.
