I Refuse to Train My Replacement Who’s Making $30K More Than Me

That person was not your replacement unless you had already given your notice. If she makes more than you then yes, she negotiated better. It happens all the time. Burning a bridge does you no good as a professional.

You have already left. So, move forward.

You said they were your replacement. I assume that meant you had a different plan already. The only problem I see with your leaving without finishing your notice is they most likely won't hire you back. Doesn't seem like this should be an issue either. With hope, if you took a new position, your new company pays better. Let go of your guilt, own your decision, and continue your moving on. Good luck.

Apparently, they didn't know your worth BUT you tapped in to your worth. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Good for you! Many blessings and much success on your future endeavors. 👊🏾❤️

You were training your replacement, so unless you had already been told you were being given another job, your boss was planning to let you go with no notice. You just beat them to the punch.

I had something similar at my last job. No one worked harder, and I had come up with many short cuts to help with increasing work loads, but I knew my boss was planning to lay me off. I never knew why, but the warning signs were clear. When it became obvious my last day would be soon, I gave my two week notice. My boss was furious, and told me it was my last day. I had expected as much. I knew he had my replacement hired already.

She lasted 2 weeks. Her replacement lasted 3. I lost track after that, but a year later a friend of mine said she had been called to interview for the job, and she refused even to interview. At that point, the salary had been doubled, but my boss still couldn't get anybody, and the job had been vacant for a year. It was an essential position that required some specialized knowledge that only I had. My boss just never knew it. He thought anyone could do it. I had no idea how he was getting my old job done, and I didn't really care. Former co-workers told me it was just chaos, and my boss was having to spend thousands of dollars to hire lawyers to do some of the work I had just done as part of my job. One of my jobs got other people their bonuses (which I didn't get), and their bonuses were all wrong. I already had a new job with a great boss, and it wasn't my problem. You did the right thing.

I had a friend that kept reminding me if I died on the way to work they’d have me replaced before the week was out. When they fire you or lay you off, there’s usually no warning. They are getting what they wanted … move on.

I did the same as you. Have never regretted it!

What you experienced happens all too often. Let them struggle. You deserve better.

I would've told them oh so she negotiated better umm ok well then since she negotiated better than she should know how to do the job and I'm not gonna train her good luck with that then handed over my resignation letter then proceeded to pack up what few items I had and left and never looked back.

If I read this correctly they were replacing you. Did they give you a heads up or even offer you an explantation? AND the only reason your old team is trying to guilt you into questioning your decision is because your replacement is struggling which makes their jobs harder! I hope you can see this for what it is…a blessing in disguise! Remember, you have to take care of yourself first before you can help others.
