I came to work to find a Teams message from a chick who is taking over one of my duties from my former department.

This message was not asking, but INFORMING me that I had a meeting with her at 8:30 to re-train her.

She had 1.5 hours of training from me before I left, and I had had 10 minutes of it when I first learned the process. In two years, my old supervisor has refused to learn the process herself so that she can train her agents.

I told my supervisor I would make the job aid better when I was in that dept; she refused. I told her maybe more than one person on the team should hold this knowledge; she refused to allow me to train others.

I advised the previous agent before I moved departments, in no uncertain terms, that if she had further questions of me..she was to have my old supervisor get with my new supervisor.

This would a) make my old sup take some modicum of accountability, and b) not make me leave valuable learning time in my new dept to help someone who has already been helped.

I am now being forced to take an hour out of my shift to help her again, for letters that are already past the deadline to send...and it is making me look like an unhelpful b to my new supervisor.

Am I tripping or is this bs?

Wow, this whole it’s up to employees to train new employees bullshit needs to stop. What if you left the company all together? I would be super pissed in your situation and I would not be nice the other employee at this point. But that’s just me.

@Jeephikelove girl thank you. i definitely said my piece, and even my trainer was like this is bs..but let me defer to management.

You have a workplace that micromanages and doesn't want to manage. First sign of a toxic workplace so no you're not tripping ☝

It's BS

Protip: insist on holding the meeting on teams and recording it so they will be less likely to ask to retrain a third, fourth etc. I've had to do this and it felt really good to say "well did you go back and watch the recording?" "Please review the recording and reach out with additional questions"

This is BS. Decline her meeting with "I am sorry but any requirement for training will have to go through a formal request from your manager to my manager and after my manager approves it."

Simple. Decline decline decline

It’s BS but unfortunately that is the way management operates. A little common sense would go a long way in business

bad management. not your fault. in any case, do what is needed to get your paycheck. your job is what you do to pay bills. if you didn't have bills to pay, you wouldn't be at work. don't give this any more importance than is really necessary. save your mental health for things that matter. you got this.
