training my replacements

Since I handed in my notice I have spent many, many hours writing a comprehensive guide to doing my job. It has a glossary of acronyms, 2 pages of hints and tips and a step by step guide to using the computer software.


Nether of them have bothered to read it.


How do I know? I know because they keep asking me stupid questions that are thoroughly covered in my guide book.


When I started this job my predecessor left me a guide which I referred to constantly for the first few weeks. This meant that I only had to disturb my colleague on the odd occasion when something wasn't covered in the
guide or not explaned properly.


Why can't these ninnys do the same ?

  1. The inevitability of the standard of cretinitude among replacements is legendary.

    Having said that, I am a replacement at the mo, after my Line Manager left. But I have made copius notes on his procedures.

    You see, you should have had me as a replacement.

  3. In that case I think you should do what I did and jack it all in to go traveling. It's the only answer !
