Redundant but I have to train my replacement!

sure, if your employer shows you such loyalty, bend over and let them screw you some more....after all they are being nice doing this to you.
I think as others suggested I would give them the training they want, just broken.
Maybe people need to stop acting like lapdogs and hit these employers where it hurts.
with that attitude you'll be the one that ends up on the scrapheap unable to get another job.The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....0 -
If the OP works for the company I think they work for, they only have another six weeks to go until the end of their consultation period...."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

I would handle it as follows :-
Break the job role out into its component parts.
Set a schedule for training out the components.
End of training = handover. Have the new people running with the component part once they're training in it. Obviously this makes the most sense as the new staff can demonstrate how much they understand, and you are there for any questions / escalations.
If you do it right, you'll have trained and handed over all your work reasonably in advice of your finish date, so your last couple of weeks odd should be quite handy.0 -

There are two parts to your job:
- the job you are required to do
- the tips you'd give to your best mate about tricks, troubles and problem solving.
Do the first, not the second.0 -
asajj, #4 - 'You can negotiate a better way of doing it obviously and I don't think any company would be unreasonable to reject such a request.'
Think you mean 'reasonable' here.

Difficult situ. for you M. Current work atmosphere must be a mixture of all the replies so far, with added jackal factor.
Only you know to what extent the wiser replies here are playable, bankable.
If you like what you do, don't queer other UK pitches. A glowing reference could be guilt-worked from current employers, given 'after consultation we are being made redundant.'
If such consultation was genuine [a] did you suggest you could/would work overseas/be their trainer?
If you would like to do this, why not do so now?
