This is Willow’s story.
At the beginning of this month, I resigned at the company I was working for so that I could join the family business. My boss asked me to stay on until he could find a replacement for me to train. I agreed but told him that I would only be available for 4 months.
He agreed. 2 weeks ago, he told me that he hired my replacement, and I was ordered to stay late daily to train her. It was annoying, but I kept quiet because the sooner I could get her trained, the sooner I could leave.
I met the girl, and she seemed nice enough, so I decided to teach her everything I knew. But then I found out that she’s making $35K more than me for the same job. That was unfair in my opinion, so I asked HR about it, and they said, “She knew her worth and negotiated better.”
I was shocked by their audacity, but forced a smile and said, “Oh wow, good for her! I’ll teach her.” This wasn’t the end. If they wanted to treat me like a replaceable piece of equipment, I’d show them how wrong they were.
The next day, when my boss came into the office, he went pale because he saw that I was teaching her exactly what she asked for and nothing more. I didn’t show her any of the shortcuts, didn’t give her any insider knowledge, and I didn’t build up relationships between her and our key clients.
In the end, she wouldn’t have the institutional wisdom that actually made me a valuable asset to the company. All she would have was the basic job description, word for word, and the bit extra she had the intelligence to ask for.
