To outsource bloody PowerPoint shit to someone else who can do it?

[startingtolooklikemother]

New job, bloody love it BUT there is loads to do on PowerPoint and I hate it. They are going to provide me training (which I've had in another job before and I'm still crap) but basically I hate PowerPoint it's like death by 1000 cuts.
I'm seriously considering looking at outsourcing it to someone who can do it. They get paid and I get rid of the floating PowerPoint turd

I do PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Publisher. And I'm damn good at it, too albeit that's not stopping me being made redundant as they seem to think they can do without somebody able to create things of beauty.

I love pp! The way you can make things whooooosh in or twinkle in! I'll do it( and do do it for many colleagues!)

Nope not unreasonable but you could use the money you pay outsourcing the work to pay a professional to teach you what you need to know on a one to one basis. I find it hard learning in a class environment.

Then it's a skill you always have!

Fuck it, outsource it. If you are going to be pouring over the bloody thing hating it the whole time then get someone to do it for you.

startingtolooklikemother you could outsource it to a virtual assistant.

I loathe pp. Particularly loathe training sessions with 150 pp slides that the trainer then reads to me.
Slowly.
I do love it when they hand out the feedback forms at the end though!
The worst are the ones that have used every single available transition and often in multiples. I dont want to see the bloody slide bounce in. Not again. Please.
If you have to do a presentation, and why would you use it for anything else, bullet points only please. Just give us the headlines and see if you can work in some discussion interactivity, groupwork, or, you know, anything else.
And breathe.

Please stand still while I shoot you.

No. Just no.

We've stopped using Vision, people got motion sick with all that swinging around.

Powerpoint. Clear bullets / points only. Images if you must. Nothing else required.

What bit are you actually struggling with - can we help?

Hate Powerpoint, I use Sway instead. Much easier.
