As long as you know excel (incl power pivot/query) you’ll be fine. Never seen sql or tableau used but alteryx and powerbi are helpful in processing large data sets so either are nice to know

Applied to transfer to another property, found out that my manager told their manager that I had attendance issues, which she has never talked to me about and even said recently that I don’t have any attendance issues.

I technically shouldn’t know that she said it at all so I have no idea how to approach her about it.
