Been at the company for 2+ years with access to web apps. My initial training was a disaster due to busy/unhelpful colleagues.

Today, a new team member got access to all apps, including two I’d never seen. One worked, the other gave an error. Turns out I was supposed to have access all along! Found an old email with an expired setup link from when I started 🤦‍♀️.

Told my new manager about the error (omitting that I’d never used it). He’s now sorting it with access management and platform support, who are confused about the lack of access.

Terrified my manager will ask why I haven’t been using this platform I just discovered 😭.

TL;DR: Bad initial training led to me missing access to two web apps for 2+ years. Just found out, one doesn’t work, and I’m dreading explaining to my new manager why I’ve never used it.
