They will replace you in a heartbeat if you start having requirements

When I train somebody new and I have to remember the actual rules and SOPs instead of all the ad hoc ones I made up.
“Official” vs. “how the workplace actually functions.”
You know your job so well you have to look up what to formally tell them before teaching them the way people in touch with reality operate 😆
Yep.
I’m now old enough that I’ve been here longer than the really eager and overachieving youths who did the management pipeline.
I have become a fixture, my name is now a role.
Just answer everything with, “How about we- AHHHH SNAKES!!!” And this will get you out of trouble.
Same, girlie
I love your name Lady Meow.

Almost every single time I hear someone saying this, it’s impostor syndrome talking.

My partner is the worst for this. She’s out there killing it and everyone says she’s doing great, and then she’s like “Oh, I’m just learning still, I don’t think I want the promotion they’re pushing on me yet”. Come on, just acknowledge that you know a lot more than you give yourself credit for and other people see it.

Honestly I think the main problem is that when something comes easy to you it’s easy to assume it came easy to everyone else and you’re not special. Happened to me on a few subjects and I got knocked out of that thought process when I acted like a dick about others not getting it and had it spelled out for me.

Remind her that experts are more aware of what they don’t know. So, she has already subconsciously labeled herself an expert.

Ask her if she is even good enough to have imposter syndrome?

I eventually got over that. I feel incompetent pretty often but I doubled my salary in 4 years.

Exactly. I know nothing and I’m not important, that’s how it should go

Eh. I’m good at my job. But I know I won’t be all that good managing people who do my job. They keep trying to force me into it anyway but she virtue of me being here a while.
