Tutorial (or handholding) needed for Microsoft products
I have been with this company for a year. It is a family partnership (not legally, but practically) and they have always filled in each others weak spots. One weak spot was technology and as they have grown they did not change to meet their needs. Another was the lack of shared space for physical files and notes ( in my truck, in a box in his basement, on my phone).
They utilize Apple - Microsoft - Dropbox - Google - independent apps and share log ins and passwords (until they don't). Their past MO has been to identify a problem and buy a solution without integration.
As their first office manager, I was encouraged to bring everything into one place, both physically and digitally. To that end, I convinced them they needed to convert to Microsoft products and they did.
Now I am in over my head, working from home and would like to get things pulled together so that we can function more efficiently.
One additional problem I have is that there is no plan or communication so expectations and the wish list changes almost daily.
I am looking for a group to help me talk (vent) and plan about the companies needs that will use the right language so that I can find help. I also want to be able to ask my employer questions to get a plan in place. I don't mind researching or reading tutorials but I feel overwhelmed and want to be sure I am building a good foundation.
I'm not afraid of tech, but I am afraid of misusing it. Can anyone help mentor me?

Must be that time again to talk about GHOSTING by recruiters
In the past month, I had 3 recruiters reach out to me and we had excellent conversations. They were so excited about my experience, they even responded to my thank you emails. Now-crickets. These are recruiters on staff with the organizations they represent. Anyone care to offer insight into this behavior?

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
