Redundancy notice obligations could affect future employment?

Question

Two weeks ago I was asked to show a work colleague certain aspects of my job. Since being asked I have been issued notice of possible redundancy, albeit 12 months off. Can the company legally force me to train someone who is not employed in my department to do this work considering the fact I have been issued with redundancy notice?

Answer 1

I have never heard of a "redundancy notice" but yes, the company is your boss, in essence, and they can require you to train someone else, unless of course you leave prior to that time, or are fired. Again, I have never heard of this type of notice.

Answer 2

You could say that it's not part of your job description.
But, they may let you go early and could possibly give you a bad recommendation.
It's a conflict. Teaching someone to take away you job.
Personally I feel like training is a managers job that is often "slacked" off on subordinates.
I am all for teamwork. Such as if you were asked to train your old job for a upcoming promotion. But under the circumstances it seems to add insult to injury.
If it were me, I would say no to them, but that's why I don't get along with managers so well.

I incredibly have that comparable situation, regrettably I many times snap their neck, I propose no, they do no longer call the law enforcement officers, yet then I gotta get rid of the physique and such. it incredibly is extra difficulty than i'd like, I propose wearing headphones each and every of the time. Alsoooo perhaps? I spent a while in juvi whilst i replaced right into a baby yet under no circumstances when I wasn't a minor.

Barring a contract or union rules, of course they can. You work for the company and they are allowed to use you and any other employee as they see fit. Based on past experience, they are looking to consolidate job duties, and it sounds like they are aiming for the other person to replace you. Better start job hunting.
