Bro, I worked for a company that literally offered us and non-technical staff a coding boot camp. I asked if I could be promoted if I did the boot camp since they were offering it to people a level above me. I already knew everything in the boot camp, as did everyone I worked with. They refused. But, then they also laid my team and I off a month later and some how kept all the people that did the boot camp. It made no damn sense. It’s like the higher ups had no idea what a boot camp was, but thought it would be cutting edge and innovative if it was offered. They were clueless. Meanwhile, they cut everyone with those skills.
It manages that plans upgrades on Monday are a godsend unless you like working OT while having access to b-team vendor support.
My first thought when reading the OP was "Who the hell touches anything on a Friday evening? That sounds like a good way to end up working the entire weekend."
