But I also Stopped responding to messages.
the fuck, why if you hate the position you're in?
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.
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.Why do you need to take care of "these guys" are they family, really close friends or are they a paycheck?
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?
Oh no, They would have fired me a long time ago.
So where is the hold up here?

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.

left a word out.
would free/truenas run AS a vm in hyper-v?
trying to keep myself busy, it's quieter than a cemetery at midnight atm
The general consensus that I've seen here is
- a NAS OS is redundant and hampers efforts to repair things.
- You're better off using something like Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu Server, or your favourite flavour
so do you mean, just build up another server consisting of an OS that support staff are familiar with, fill it with disk and use that?

Yep, that's been the consensus around here. No real value add in having an appliance manage SAMBA and/or NFS for you. If you really really want a GUI interface, use a RedHat distribution for cockpit.

Just replaced a UPS at a police station. Everything is back up, installing PowerChute now.

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..
Aren't employers required to be flexible about kids?
I dont' know about 'required' -- but every interview I've been in, I tell them, my family comes first.
Yes, I know there are times when I'll have to work odd hours or overtime, I'm okay with that, but if you make me chose between my family and my job, I will choose my family every time.
Being that up front and blunt about it from the get go has landed me my last two jobs.

Such a busy day today. Felt like I had nothing on the docket, and in reality, I'm still at my desk working. All good stuff, but wow what a busy day!
