I have not brought it up. I don’t know if I will. It will buy me more time if my boss thinks that I don’t know what’s going on. And I do not trust her to be honest about it anyway. I don’t want to get into details but the company recently split after a long power struggle and the working environment is full of mistrust.

No, I’ve been in all the orientation meetings. These are strategy meetings.

> According to the OP, he’s supposed to train the new person how to do “everything that I [the OP] do”. You told him not to follow that direction, and instead to deliberately avoiding training NH on some of what the OP does. That’s directly contradicting the instruction. All of the stuff about training schedules and rubrics is irrelevant; there is a clear instruction, you advised the OP not to follow it, and I called the advice bad and listed the possible reprecusions of following your advice.
Not at all. k9bfriender is right.
The OP has not been given a timeline to train his assistant (replacement). So he should develop a 3 month training program. It’s not on the OP to follow a timeline he was never given. If he is let go before the training program is finished, that’s not the OP’s fault since he’s being lied to.
