It's hard to imagine that after all these years of working, I spent some time last year having to prove myself while training someone straight out of university - and I lost!
After doing the job competently, working long days and connecting with people across the organisation, I was told to train her on everything I was doing. Next there was a game of 'oh yes we'll extend your contract' and 'oh no we won't' (pantomime voice!). This pantomime went on for a few months until I decided I'd had enough and deserved alot more respect. So I resigned.
What was the affect when I resigned? My Manager asked me if the student had picked up everything I was doing - so it was clear what was happening.... the Office Junior was being given my job. I'll blog again soon about how I handled this but until then how have you handled these situations?
