I recently got a layoff notice, and today I find myself having to train a whole team of offshore consultants on how to do my job.
It happened to my stepfather 20 years ago too. He had to fly to Mexico to teach a new factory how to do his job.
It will happen to my kids, and their kids.
These corporate overlords do not care about us. If they could make an extra dollar on it, they would slit your throat.
Proof: today it was alluded to that my “generous” severance package is contingent on the success of transitioning my work to this team of offshore consultants. So they not only want me to stick around until my time is up but I have to earn my severance package by making sure this new team is successful. It's just another way for them to save money by finding a loophole to not pay me for my efforts.
