If you are in a company and you do work that no one else there does, and also work that you yourself wouldn’t do, what should you do?

I’m gradually losing my direction in this company. It assigns me tasks that are outside my area of expertise, simply because those are the kinds of projects the company can take on; moreover, no one in the company knows how to do those tasks, and of course I don’t either. I have to learn everything on my own, but the problem is that even after learning something, I’m not sure if it’s correct. I try to complete tasks using what I’ve learned, but I later realize that there are many flaws in what I know, and many of those flaws pose risks. I don’t know how to move forward, as many of my tasks involve creating construction drawings, yet those drawings aren’t reviewed by anyone who knows how to do it properly. I’m very confused now – what should I do?
First, consider the company’s growth prospects; second, look at the development potential of what you are working on. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If you don’t have the right skills, don’t take on difficult tasks – and the pressure is already so high these days
Hey, I’m in the same situation as you. Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I’m not sure if what I’ve done is correct. The reviews only point out some spelling mistakes. Every time I hear about some accident or safety incident, I get scared
I have no idea what the future holds for the company’s development; it’s unclear. I also don’t have any room for growth, as the company doesn’t value me at all. It’s just a matter of getting by day to day – in this situation, it’s already good enough if someone will pay you a salary. But I’m very afraid that something bad might happen.
Yes, it’s actually been quite difficult lately~ There’s a lot of pressure~ I’m worried that there might be problems with the equipment I create or the projects I work on; no one else can help me, and it makes me feel very helpless.
Coincidentally, my situation is similar to yours, but I work in the valve industry; you should read more books and learn on your own
Well then, since no one is challenging you, go ahead and do it boldly, as long as there are no safety incidents.
Me too; I can only sign for verification, while the person who conducts the review holds the relevant certification. There are also those who come to us asking to have their drawings stamped; they don’t even have the calculation sheets, and we won’t carry out the calculations either. I’ve resigned decisively now; it’s a lifetime responsibility system after all
That would be terrible; when a problem arises, the designer isn’t actually responsible for the serious aspects of the issue – the reviewer is the one who holds the most important role in signing off~
