Bosses frequently demand that employees train their replacements before leaving the company to ensure a smooth transition and minimise productivity disruptions. This happened with this employee, who was informed to train the new person.??
A person going by the handle u/GentlyUsedOtter revealed a frustrating story regarding his last day at work in a recent Reddit post that received much attention. The post tells how his?boss?asked him to train the replacement on his last day, which sparked a conversation on workplace dynamics and professional etiquette.
The user expresses his disgust and surprise at the circumstances, questioning the rationale of such a request. He thought it was unrealistic and unfair to be tasked with training someone who would take over his functions and responsibilities.
"I really need you to train your replacement right."

A Reddit user, u/GentlyUsedOtter, shared the story in which he showed his thinking and how his boss behaved with him. The post then goes on to explain why the person decided to leave his employment and was offered two weeks' notice. According to the Reddit user, they continued to inquire about his replacement?to teach them before departing.?The company could send someone only on the last day of work.
Furthermore, the Reddit poster mentioned that the new employee was unwilling to learn as he was busy playing on his laptop, and then when the employee was training him, he should have paid more attention to it, which he did not.?So they did their part and went home. The next day, however, he received a call from his ex-manager about the review of the new employee, to which the ex-man said that he did not understand a thing, and then the boss requested the ex-employee to retrain the new employee.
Manager: "Are you able to train him again tonight?" 'No,' I say, 'I start at my new job tonight.' 'So you can't come in tonight?' says the manager. 'No, as I stated in my email, last night was my final night,' I replied. 'But he needs to be trained,' says the manager. "Me: 'Then I would recommend you find someone to train him," the Reddit user wrote.
