Honestly one of the factors leading to my burnout and depression was being required to be 'the face of' and promote the use of a piece of enterprise software that just confounded your expectations as a user at every turn.
I tried my best, I went to conferences and met the woman charged with modernising the UI and submitted the extensive feedback she asked for. She left the company 3 months later.
Training sessions were a constant flow of 'yeah that is a bit weird, but that's how it works!'.
I submitted via the vendor's service portal enhancement requests for everything that came up. Two years later they were all closed.
I knew it was hopeless, but I had to try. I wish I'd just refused and found somewhere else to work.
