They told me to train my replacement, so I walked out of my job today.

Imagine this: a worker with spotless reviews, no warnings, no performance issues, suddenly gets called into the manager’s office and told they’re out in three weeks. The only explanation? The usual corporate mumbo jumbo about “changing directions.” Then, the real gem: they’re expected to spend those three weeks training their replacement, who starts the next day. Not only that, but they’re told not to talk about the company culture or the real reasons behind the firing. Instead, they should make up some cheerful lie about finding a better opportunity, so the new hire won’t get spooked.

The worker goes home, has a minor existential crisis (dry-heaving over the toilet is a new form of office bonding, apparently), and then comes to a simple conclusion: there’s no way they’re helping the company replace themselves. So they drive back, drop their laptop and keycard on the desk, and walk out. The manager calls them unprofessional, but let’s be real, professionalism is for people who haven’t been thrown under the bus by their own employer.

This isn’t about revenge. It’s about self-preservation. Sometimes, the smartest move is to say, “No thanks,” and leave the company to figure out how to replace you without your help. After all, why should anyone help the people who just kicked them to the curb? If the company wants someone to train their replacement, maybe they should hire a therapist instead.
