I had a chat with my boss last week, and he informed me that due to my underwhelming performance over the last few months, his bosses do not want me to keep my current job, but are willing to let me stay with the company in a smaller capacity. I declined the offer, but agreed to work this week to finish up some projects that I had started.
My replacement has already been announced, and it's a woman that I cannot stand – I would argue that her meddling played a big part in my poor performance in recent months because executives kept sending her over to “help” me.
Do I have to train her at all? I would feel more inclined if I vacated my position on my own accord, but higher-ups gave it to her without my consent. I worry that I could get sued because this is a middle management position, but I'm not sure.
Any advice is appreciated.
