Training Your Replacement?

[Dr. Feelgood]

The company I work for is seriously cold hearted. Not only do they hardly give raises (I got my first raise in 3 [expletive]ing years just last month) but they don’t give progressive vacation, you don’t get sick days, no personal days, they don’t have direct deposit…I could go on and on with this list. It’s seriously a terrible company to work for. I guess the reason I’m still working there is because the job is so [expletive]ing easy (I’m at work right now typing this) and I like working with the people in the warehouse. Plus, right now, I think I have job security because not many people can do my job as quickly and efficiently as I can.

 

But here at this company, they literally have you train your replacement before giving you the ax. It’s happened at least 3 times this month with 3 different people that had been working with the company for at least 4-5+ years. “Oh hey, you’re going to train so and so as your back up, that way if you miss work, we have DERPA here to fill in for you”. Then after 2-3 weeks of training your replacement, BOOM! Gone.

 

[expletive]ed up. Though, the people that it’s happened to recently, I didn’t really like anyways but it’s still the thought.

You really need to leave that place dude..lol

 

 

Tough, but flexible job w/ direct deposit > easy, non flexible job.

That happens just about everywhere but yes its a very cold pratice. I think it has alot to do with the fact that its cheaper to pay a new guy than one that has been around for a while. Especially if its not a tough job.
