As the title suggests, I am being let go and have to train my replacement. This is nothing new, and I don't mind showing them where files are in the computer to some extent. However, I learned everything on my own, no one trained me at all. I had to figure out and fix the department from the Director who quit before me. I am being replaced by a SENIOR Vice President, who not only will be making more than me, is more experienced than me, and after busting my ass, I'm not getting a bonus because of the timing. It's not like I'm getting a severance of course either. For whatever reason, I'm expected to hand hold and coddle these people, when even the new hire Directors in other departments aren't following their own rules or showing much competency at all. I feel this is getting amazingly insulting like they're walking on my grave to boot. I should be “thankful” that I didn't get the notice on the Friday that I was fired which most people usually do, but since I was let go from another office job once without anyone notifying me, I suppose this is the new corporate America. This doesn't seem very gentlemanly. How am I supposed to handle this?
Someone will advise me to be graceful and do it, and beef up the resume, I can't help but wonder why I'm supposed to train someone making 350% my salary on something I never received 3 minutes of training on. And if you knew how to use a computer, you can figure it out yourself. And I lost thousands of dollars for doing so. What was my incentive?
