"In order to qualify for severance, SCE workers had to agree to train their replacements and to not criticize the utility in public. Asking to remain anonymous, former SCE employees sent Grassley letters in which they complained "they had to train their replacements -- for weeks and months -- knowing all along that they were going to lose their jobs to cheaper workers who didn't possess the skills they had," Grassley explained. "They said it was humiliating." (SCE declined Grassley's invitation to testify.) "

If they don't, they simply are axed. I've seen it, and it is insult on top of injury. And the funny part is that the replacement employees are usually crap, even after the training. However, when the company's IT department falls apart and the stockholders come looking for those responsible, those responsible have taken their kickbacks and moved on, leaving their former company in smoking ruins, just like a 3rd world country...

Any replacement I train will finish by hating the company more than me. Poison the well when management is poisonous.
