Sounds like your manager doesn't need an Angular expert. Try asking your manager what they would want you to learn for the job. It doesn't mean you should go force yourself to learn that thing if you're not interested in it, but at least now you know what your manager values and you can use that information.
- IndianAstronaut 10y agoLong story short, she designed a project with an Angular UI and staked some internal political capital on it. She hired a pretty awful Angular dev who took several months to build up a UI and then abruptly left the company. She wanted me to get up to speed on it, so I did. I noticed there were a lot of issues in the code and said much of it had to be rewritten since it would not scale. She didn't like what I said and then told me not to focus too much on Angular and just learn enough to maintain the existing application and she would hire another contractor to do the work. I should add that she threatened me when she said to stop working on Angular. Whereas 2 months earlier she threatened my job if I didn't learn it.
