@WrCombs That happens to everyone. When it happens to me I try to shift focus and do something different for the day and that helps me.

that's basically what I've been doing.
I stopped worrying about that and went on to watching my videos on the new software they want me to lead.
Great mind think alike. -
@WrCombs Yeah thats what you have to do. That was me at my previous job, working with an AV company. Management actively tried to prevent you from learning more on the job. I had to buy books and watch videos and slowly piece together how to do things above my position and it took a long time to get there. It totally should not have.

@WrCombs Yep yep!

That's exactly how I feel I should be.
However when I put it out on here I get back lash about how I need to leave my employment ( which I agree I'm still looking for better things, but for now -) because I shouldn't show initiative in learning on my own.

I think you must have misread something. When has someone said that?

You've given backlash about what im during here since the beginning.
I've been told that getting Vm's was stupid because my boss doesnt seem interested in my expansion with the company and that Im wasting my time learning here and should be out doing other stuff - atleast how you always present it . -

I've been told that getting Vm's was stupid because my boss doesnt seem interested in my expansion with the company and that Im wasting my time learning here and should be out doing other stuff - atleast how you always present it .Correct. But none of that is what you just said that I said. You said we discouraged learning on your own. But then you said something totally different is what I said.
I've encouraged you to learn valuable IT skills on your own, and to move on to a good employer. That's totally different than what you said that I said.
What you need to do is not learn skills that are nearly worthless and focused solely on the value to the current employer, but rather on skills for your career.

But while I'm working at my Current Employer these Skills are Valuable
And We weren't talking Valuable IT Skills when I said

I understand that position.
Like I said earlier, I am infact passively looking for other means of employment.

Sure, to them. Not to you. So learning them hurts you. That's the point.

And your example was of something else, supporting my point.

This, 100%.

Right, but you felt that "learning for that new job" was being discouraged. It is not and never way. In fact, it is wasting effort doing something else that takes away from that that is being discouraged.
You are perceiving us discouraging the very thing we are promoting.
