Browsing for Job openings. . . Kind of Tired of the Restaurant industry.
Are you still at the same job that you've had for however long?
Yes.
Trust in yourself, you have more experience now and shouldn't have an issue getting a better position.
have you gone to any interviews, I know you said you had a while ago, but has that kept up?
-
@DustinB3403 I've had job offers from Competitors , but I dont want to be in Restaurant support industry if I change jobs..
plus - they're pretty flexible with my Kids schedule and allow me a little freedom when it comes to my kid and what I need to do for him.. -

Because things got better for a little bit - Got a few pay raises, more responsibility, and had bigger projects.
But I'm extremely burnt out.

I can see the reason to think "let me stick this out" but none of those bonuses would outweigh a shit employer just trying to keep you on so they don't sink.

That's the scenario you're in.

I have a few big things I need to do to make sure these guys are taken care of when I do leave, But I'm working on all of that.
I see what you're saying, I just need to figure out what's my next step. -

I can't in good Conscience be the Product specialist on one of our POS systems, then just leave them high and dry without them knowing anything about it.

Interesting that you can't leave them. Do you think they wouldn't fire you immediately and not think about it if something happened?

Finding another job , and training these guys to be able to fake it til they make it.

Unless your current employer has specifically asked you to train your coworkers on this system, then training is not your job.
Also, you were trained by the employer who, I presume sent you to the food service software vendor to get trained, no?

Nope - I was trained by a coworker for all of 3 days until I got fed up with sitting next to him and started taking calls myself. I learned through fire, but had a base knowledge of what to work on.
I'm expensive = Hourly.
so I've been asked to show them a few things so i'm not "on call all the time for these customers" my training on this was "here watch 24 hours worth of videos, take a test and certified" 1.5 years ago and have forgot everything I was taught in the videos. so i learned through fire again. -
@WrCombs So why would you bother training them, seems more like the type of place to leave it all to the fire to handle.

Working on some Linux Academy modules. Current video is on Docker.
