So this relates to the game because I've had so little time to play lately. I need a disinterested party.

My company merged almost a year ago. i work for a guy that is well-degreed in risk and governance, Infosec. Not much RL experience.

For background, I've created or purchased (as well as run) CBT training for three years. It's met all compliance requirements globally. This year, he, my new boss from new company who very much outranks me, created the training from scratch. He started before the merger, Got a developer, told him what the 'ideal' training should look like and went from there. This years training does not meet all the requirements, it's not set up to be SCORM compliant or to run with existing enterprise platforms. What that means is I have spent much time downloading data to excel, then matching it to AD to get a decent reports..

But wait, there's more! He set it up so employees can (not making this up) talk about they feel about the training and policy -- 18 times during the training. They get points for how often they comment. Don't worry, I don't need to download those, because the only way they are captured is by email. So that is about 4000 emails this month with feelings that need to be charted and reponded to. It would be more, but they missed linking three modules to the course so it's really 15.

However, I get opportunity to do other emails, such as all the login issues people are having. There is no training department or help desk on this to help because he chose to have it externally hosted.

A week ago Thursday I sent him a note telling him we must suspend the training because of all the issues. Long story longer it's put a strain on our relationship. We've changed departments three times in seven months, so no line of reporting for me to bring in.

Here I am working 8 pm again, to make cumulative reports of data that is antidotal. For you excel geeks, I have v look ups and other formulas to make it easier, but it's still time consuming.

Anyway he doesn't really care about my career, but I do think he isn't overtly trying to sabotage. I also think he knows he's out of his depth in some ways, but he's quite arrogant about feedback. Well, he did graduate yesterday. 😃

One of his arguments is the downloading emails should only take two hours a day, and the log in issues - I should push back on people to keep troubleshooting themselves.

I'm open to any ideas or feedback on how to outlast this resume builder. Only 4000 of 13000 employees have taken The training. So still have a row to hoe. Thanks everyone.
