I have a question, hypothetical of course.
I have this friend you see, and this friend's work place is going through a huge restructure. Many positions have been cut and she has found out secretly that her department will be cut in half.
That means without a doubt her position will be gone.
Now say this friend hasn't resigned but has told her boss she intends to leave to travel later this year. She hasnt given her boss any kind of resignation, and she has told her a date but told her it is COMPLETELY flexible.
My friend does parts of the job, that no one else knows how to do and she would have to train someone who was getting a job over her and this woman and her dont get along. By not getting along, she cant stand this rude, over bearing, passive agressive old cow. The feeling is mutual and the other woman is rude and sneaky towards my friend. Going behind her back to her boss when something happens she doesnt like instead of discussing it with or infront of her.
two questions she wants to ask, hypothetically.
1. Should she force them to make her redundant instead of handing in her notice. That way she would recieve redundancy pay as well as being paid out for her holiday hours.
The reason she asks is handing in her notice/ being made redundant would happen at the same time. If she wasn't intending to travel she would be out of a job anyway and they would have to pay it. She is worried they are going to tell her that as she was planning on leaving eventually she should just hand in her notice early.... which would totally screw my friend financially as she is counting on working until the week before she goes.
If she figures correctly, this should happen 7 weeks before she plans on leaving which would leave her at least 3 grand short on what she needs to travel.
2. Should she show the people staying how to do her job?
The reason she asks this is, ALL of her work, her ENTIRE workload is on a computer, and her partner can not even double click and is RUDE AS ALL HELL when my friend tries to show her how to navigate a simple website.
It would mean not only showing this woman how to do her work, but how to use a computer?
My friend has no problem what-so-ever showing someone how to do her job, but she is not being paid to teach someone how to use a computer, let alone someone who is RUDE to her on a daily basis.
My friend isnt doing this to be difficult, she wants to be professional, but she highly suspects (for good reason) that the other two in the department are going to protect each other and keep her in the black as much as possible. So she doesnt see why she should have to go out of her way (and job description) because her company is eliminating her position but not her duties.
so what are your thoughts for both questions?
