I'm gonna get fired!!!!!!?

Question

LMAO!!!!FINALLY!
Any way.I need some advice.Since nobody knows how to do what I do in my office.......should I train someone to do what I do......or should I let them suffer?
Seems kinda stupid of me to train my (obvious) replacement when they are obviously gonna fire me,LMAO!RIGHT?

To clarify....the boss always fires ppl on payday.Which is Thursday.....I know I'm gonna get fired because they brought in someone new(fulltime) and told me to train her to do what I do............LMAO!!!!
i'M NOT GONNA DO IT!!!!!

Answer 1

Train the new person by making up all kinds of crazy policies and procedures. Tell him/her that the way you are doing a particular task is long and tedius, but that the supervisors will check to make sure that it was done that way. Do make sure to tell the person that every day after a full moon is "cross-dressing day" at the office and every second Friday in months with 30 days is "dress like a rock star day."

Answer 2

How do you know your are getting fired maybe they are promoting you or are becoming aware that they have nobody to replace you and thats why you are training someone! Have they asked you to train someone? If they have I would train them however leave some tips and short cuts out if you really feel they are going to fire you. Maybe you should confront your boss with your concerns and find out their intentions. If you still feel this way start looking for a job and dont train just BS all day with the trianee making the job look easy to him or her.

Answer 3

Wow...That sucks, We have had our up's and down's but i never want to learn about an American loosing their job. I am hoping that you are looking already. I honestly hope things get better for you. To Answer: I would train the person. You never know, you might want to keep the person you trained as a reference from that job instead of the person that fired you. You know what I mean? Have you next employer call the new person.

Answer 4

I've done both. There were bosses that I respected and, yes, I trained my replacement, leaving on amicable terms. There were bosses I despised and said the equivalent of phooey on you and walked out the door. (I usually had a coworker that I liked, so I left some of my secrets to make him or her look like a hero). If you haven't been fired yet, go ahead and show the basics, but leave the tricks and shortcuts out.

Answer 5

I would train somebody to do things but just a leave a few important steps out. That way it looks like you are training them when in reality they will be screwed if they let you go and you will have the satisfaction that if they do fire you at least they will pay for it later.

Answer 6

First thing you need to ask is are you sure that you are going to get fired ? When my depart ment is about to promote someone it isn't uncommon to have the person do a turnover to insure a smooth transition.
Secondly; if you are about to be let go will you still be using any of your previous supervisors as personel references as you seek other employment. If so train the new replacement. The old saying "Don't burn your bridges applies."
Best of luck.

Answer 7

Easy said it right. It's no wonder you're going to be fired. You a damn troublemaker. If you act at all the way you act here, it's a wonder you haven't already been fired. You talk pure crap about your boss on this forum. It's obvious that you don't respect her. How's Ruben? He's so nice. How did he ever tolerate you for so long? I think I should get best answer.

Answer 8

1. it's your prerogative
2. it will hurt any future references not to help
3. did you do something wrong? why are you getting fired?
4. if you are so sure, quit. it's better on the resume to say you quit a hostile work environment than say you were fired for any reason.
5. you may not be getting fired. you may be getting promoted (doubt it) or they are expanding your job responsibilities. maybe he knows that he always fires on payday and this is a test of your loyalties (backhanded, but some people do it). if you are concerned about it..... go ask him. tell him you deserve the respect of knowing what's going on. if he says yes, you are going to be fired, thank him and let him know you are cleaning out your work area now and quitting. if he says no, thank him, apologize for not having faith in his evaluation of your performance and train the poor new hire!

Answer 9

Never train your replacement when you are getting fired. OR, better still, teach the obvious and leave out critical components of your job.
I learned this the hard way. If they do not give a damn about you, why should you give a damn about them?
Corporate American has destroyed employee loyalty.

Answer 10

Leave gracefully, because you need to have in your background that you did not cause a fit, throw things around, be irresponsible in your behavior in any way. It is not the end of the world to be fired -- you just do not fit in the position. Get started pounding the pavement now -- and find yourself a better fit to your skills/personality. There are plenty of jobs out there -- just start looking.
