Just want to know if this seems extremely sketchy to anyone else.
There's a coworker who has been at my job for about 1 month or so. She was hired to do some administrative stuff similar to what I do. But I know she has had a lot of issues figuring everything out as quickly as is being asked of her, and the manager doesn't seem to like her.
Today I was CC'd on an email where my manager asked for that coworker to be removed from an account, and for a new coworker to be added. So I texted her asking if she's just not doing that part of the job anymore, and she responded that she is but we're not working for the next 3 weeks and apparently they disable things when there's a gap in the schedule.
So, as far as I know there are absolutely things on the schedule in the next 3 weeks (I am working the next 3 days at least). And I also don't think it's true that they disable things when there's a gap in the schedule. Am I wrong or is my manager like…straight up lying to her?
I think this is happening so the manager can essentially train this new person, have the removed coworker as a backup, but not fire her just in case. Personally I would not be so chill if I was told that I was not going to be working for 3 weeks.
