‘I don’t need to train anybody; I don't work for you anymore': Boss demands employee who quit come back to train new hire, employee's refusal leads to dozens of phone calls

Management often doesn't realize that when you quit, you technically stop working for them. In this case, OP was working for a security company, and one month in, already decided to quit. OP gave his manager two weeks' notice, despite the fact he didn't actually owe them that. Two weeks go by and OP's manager hadn't yet found a replacement. On OP's last day, things changed, and a new trainee showed up, less than eager to be trained. OP did his best to train the new hire, despite running into a few hurdles along the way, most of which consisted of the new hire spending the whole time on his phone.

As OP predicted, at the end of the shift, the trainee had no clue what he was supposed to do. But by then, OP didn't care, as he was free from his obligations to the company. Apparently, OP's manager disagreed. OP's manager called him and asked him to come in to train the new employee again, despite the fact that OP wasn't working for the company anymore.
