We got a new boss. Guys with decades of experience leave or change. Then you got little old me. 5 years and they tell me you’re in charge now. Wtf bro. I’m just tripping out man. Like a week ago I was the least experienced and now I’m training and I’m making every call. I’m the man as they say. wtf man. How does this happen. See this is why you need to fuck off at work I went and showed them that I’m not retarded and now I’m paying for it. I wanna kick back and let veterans handle this bullshit.

How in charge are you, really? Could you fire everyone currently working there and replace them? You don't own the company, so at some pojnt you answer to someone. It's just a question of how involved they want to be.

If the answer to the second question above is "yes", well, then you're very much in charge. Try to do things the way the last guy did, until you start to feel like you understand why he did things that way. If the answer is "no", though, then all you need to do is be cool and try to anticipate what the boss man wants and get those balls rolling before he asks so you seem like a rockstar and can get shit done in no time flat (but, also, don't over-commit and set a ball rolling you can't stop before he asks for it.)

The details are going to require your constant attention and thoughts both on and off the clock, but the flowchart really only has those two branches from the root on it and every other option after that is just a matter of your best judgement.
