'So I decide to quit': Guy discovers his new job is planning on replacing him, quits before they have the chance

There's an ethical quandary that presents itself sometimes in your working life… if your job description essentially requires you to help hire and train a replacement, do you do it?

It's something that comes up more often than we realize, with countless stories popping up online where people realize they have been asked to outline their job for the purpose of hiring a replacement or find themselves training a mysterious new "team member" to do their job. The problem is that the yet-to-be-fired employee is led to believe that it's a requirement of their job to partake in these tasks (or else), and when people begin to catch on… things can begin to go a little bit sideways.

In this situation, Redditor u/kamamad1 found their job suspiciously posted on LinkedIn before being asked to outline the tasks of their position. They saw the writing on the wall, and rather than assisting their employer in screwing them over; they decided it was time to take their skills elsewhere. Their decision to quit was not taken well by their employer, who was planning on exploiting their knowledge before giving them the boot, which led u/kamamad1 to share their experience on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit.
