[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by this:

our technology and programs are incredibly complicated

Is that the core work of your company or is legal supposed to be doing legal but these are their tools?

I work in app dev and tools need to be intuitive to some extent. If not you need to dump the vendor, demand support, demand better. There are some tools I have been forced to use (requisition comes to mind but I have blanked out the app because it was that bad) that were not intuitive and frankly a disgrace to software. I cannot believe companies paid for this, but it was one of those headlock fed gov things.

Is this your situation?[/quote]

+1 to this. I mean, no one should be spending so much time on this unless it's their actual job. If you really can't get more support from IT or elsewhere then you should definitely delegate these duties out to one person on the team. And specifically say you expect Larlo to be point on WidgetGadget and write it into their job duties.

And the reason that you're good at tracking these things down and solving these problems is partly because of your personality and partly because you are a woman. It's hard to work against that, but it's part of being an effective manager.[/quote]
