Well, that's been an interesting day.
Apparently the MD saw my resignation email, saw me mentioning that I'll need to document processes for handover, and that would likely impact performance in BAU tasks. After all, I can't just make time slow down or something and there are only so many hours in the day. And fuck doing this as overtime that I'm already not getting paid for anyway.
He told my line manager no, Beany doesn't need to do a handover, he needs to do these BAU tasks. He'll speak to me about it.
These BAU tasks are what need to be documented, rather than being in my head.
So what the MD wants is for me to run full whack with these tasks, and then for them to stop dead the day I leave because no-one else knows how to do them like I do, and take weeks to get up to even remotely my speed. Assuming that anyone else in the company has time to do it or learn it, whic is unlikely when you run your company on a skeleton staff as a matter of course.
Incredible. Unsurprisingly, my line manager didn't pass that on to me as he realises the implications. But it slipped out today when I walked back into the office and heard him talking about it with someone else....and no, the MD hasn't spoken to me. At all. In any manner.
Also, I got my new laptop today. Dell Vostro, 16 thread Ryzen, 16gb RAM, half terabyte NVME storage - similar to what I have in the office, actually, but the office machine is a Lenovo.
Has a 16:10 screen (which is lovely), a surprising lack of crap installed and.....Windows 11.
Oh my 
Actually it's not too bad, but I'll be throwing Linux on there to maintain compatability with toolchains etc. Yes, WSL and all that, but it's not as simple as having it native so you don't have to pass through devices, etc.
No bulky USB drives at home though (all in the office) so that'll be a tomorrow evening job. Or a tomorrow day job if I'm feeling cheeky. I'll likely be throwing Debian or Manjaro on it (I'll probably toss a coin, both are good but 90% of the new job gear runs on Debian....) so I think I'll need to kill Secure Boot or whatever TPM is called this week in Windows land, regardless.
We'll see.
) and I'm in bits. Nurofen takes the edge off a bit but I know I'm 1 "Ill-judged attempt to pick something up" from being bed ridden for a week.
