It seems to me that if you were called in and told you were being laid off but you must FIRST train your replacement, everyone should right then walk out and leave them in the lurch.
Tell the boss, “You hired them, you train them! I’m out of here!”.
“Tell the boss, “You hired them, you train them! I’m out of here!”.”
Couldn’t agree more.
Quitting means no severance and no unemployment.
That might be emotionally satisfying but costly. By quitting you would most likely forfeit any severance package as well as become ineligible for unemployment benefits.
I know a mechanic who worked at a factory and when he was told they were closing and the machines used there was going to Red China and he had to train them on how to use it. He got so mad at his boss, he just yelled back, “you are laying me off and in addition making me train some ‘g-—’ to replace me! I’m outta here!” He then went otthe lunchroom, got his stuff, then to his car and gone. Not only this creates uncertainty in the economy but a lot of resentment and anger too.
yep. lock the doors, hide the keys
