I had been working at the same company for almost three years when my manager suddenly started asking me to train the new guy on everything I did.
At first, I didn’t think anything of it. He was new, and I figured helping him settle in was just part of being a good teammate.
But after a few weeks, I noticed something strange.
He was being taught tasks that I’d spent years learning, and my manager kept saying things like, “Make sure he knows how you handle this.”
One afternoon, I asked my manager directly.
