My manager wants me to watch 40+ hours of recorded client called to catch up on a work stream that I was never intended to be a part of but now am getting pulled into? Is there any polite way to push back or request another way to learn? I won’t learn anything from 40 recording sessions and makes me so upset because i hâte the content of what I’m doing on this project. It’s an IT implem project

Say you have hearing loss and you’ll need your manager to type out the transcript if you’re going to learn anything.

Can you increase the replay speed, and/or skim the recordings?

Play it in the background?

Watch the videos on 2x speed and take the remaining 20 hours off.

Ok, is it downloadable? And do you have an internal media hosting platform? Same issue here - I saved it, posted it to our media exchange (kept private) and bonus - requested the closed captioning service. Next morning, I had a transcript to download and was able to play at faster speeds.

It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.
