My Boss Hired the Wrong Replacement—Now I’m Stuck Cleaning Up! 😩
After 18 years as the office manager at a tiny five-person company, I gave my boss eight months’ notice before retiring. He waited until October to hire my replacement—without interviewing anyone else, just taking a friend’s recommendation. She can’t keep up, doesn’t take notes, and honestly, seems uninterested in learning. I’ve spent two months training her, but she’s just not getting it.
Now, with only three weeks left before my planned exit, my boss wants to start the hiring process all over again. I feel torn—part of me wants to help, but another part thinks this is his mess to fix. I care about the business, but I’m frustrated that he prioritized trust over qualifications.
I finally negotiated to stay an extra month for a better salary and vacation, but I’m still stressed and unsure if I’m doing the right thing. What would you do in my shoes? I could really use some advice! 🤔
