How long is a reasonable period of training to give a brand new manager? I’d say two weeks of training, side by side with them is sufficient. What do you think?

Training someone for two weeks sounds about right. Depending on their experience that may not even be necessary. Assuming they've got some experience, two weeks should be plenty of time to get familiar with anything new to them they might need to know.

And no experience? Do you think two weeks is enough? First mgmt job ever

That sounds right to me. Maybe closer to three if it's a huge store or some complicated processes. But generally speaking, I'd say that's going to be an adequate amount more often than not.

Indeed. I’m thinking three for someone with no mgmt experience

I think it depends. I've worked places with pretty simple procedures and they only needed a couple of weeks of training and then a few weeks of shadowing. But I've worked at other places with really intense P&P and dashboards and they needed a lot more.

You’re right, it depends on how intense the procedures are as well as experience level

Two weeks sounds fair for hands on shadowing, but it also depends on the complexity of the role. Some managers might need a bit longer to really get comfortable with systems, people, and problem solving on the floor.

What's the protocol for adding internal portal mockups for a client to your portfolio? Is it expected, something that requires asking permission but is still generally OK, or frowned upon? I'm a developer trying to pivot to UX.

Nothing in the contract bc our SOW was originally dev only. If I need permission, I have a good rapport with the Corp Comm director and VP so would I contact them on LinkedIn, or is this something that's normally done through the employer?
