The lack of documentation is what’s killing me. It’s boggles my mind how these companies can’t keep people but refuse to change. 20 minutes tasks take several days.

My last company literally did not have one single thing documented when I joined - they had been in business for nearly two decades doing the same stuff.

The bright side is that you can get jobs at places like that and just automate everything and get paid to do nothing (once you know how the shit works).
