Clear Out Your Desk: 10 Signs You’re About to Get The Pink Slip

8. Management is increasingly encouraging job-sharing or instructs you to train someone on your responsibilities.
Raise your hand if you’ve been tricked into training your replacement. Take a note from Breaking Bad’s Heisenberg: They’re not asking you to train the new guy to hold it down because you put in a vacation request, it’s because they’re trying to take you out. I personally think it’s a poor practice and that if you are managing anything you should know how to do tasks that are below your pay grade instead of asking your subordinates to pass on the knowledge that you don’t have yourself. Otherwise, why not train the new hire yourself and allow your employee to leave with some dignity.
