“My daughter, with a BS in Marketing, was fired from her job this morning and replaced by young male with a HS diploma, whom she had been training for a week.”
Did she have any idea why she was training him? He must cost a lot less.
I’ve gone over this scenario in my head many times in the last few years, and at this point I’d rather just quit with my knowledge (several years’ worth) rather than train my replacement; if asked to train anyone besides my current staff (who have their own workloads), I wouldn’t do it without a contract. I’m not a courageous person, but at that point I’d know what’s coming; companies have to “re-set” their wages down to the new “normal”.
She suspected she was training her replacement. Being an honest individual, she approached this with much professionalism. As to the cost, see my post #15.
