I have made it clear that I don't want to be stuck with this task forever. I was given this task because I am normally the one who is good with taking a first stab in designing it and outlining a potential process.
My manager agreed. He met to with my two peers who have taken over my software release work. He wants them to own this task. I was also in attendance.
One of them did not like it. He basically asked me what my challenges were. He then said that was the reason for this meeting was that I needed help.
I find that when I handled everything on our team, very few people on my team understood just how much work I did. I have done this grunt work for far too long that I have better things to do. Anyone can do this work. I have earned it. My experience and performance speak volumes.
My manager put his foot down and said that he wants them to own this task because it's considered a part of the release work. It's true. They don't realize that I have been handling another task for years that anyone can do, but I am stuck with that for years. I shouldn't carry the burden of having two such tasks.
It was interesting to see how this guy started to push back on this task and the second task that was discussed. It was fascinating observing him.
I am on my Chromebook. I love it. Such a great purchase.
