[quote=Anonymous]My entire department was notified that our last day will be 07/31 and we'll be paid through 08/31.

We've also all been tasked with creating "detailed and orderly" documents that will "allow future employees to jump in where you left off without delay." These documents are strongly encouraged to include screenshots, passwords (and how to change the passwords), links, etc. and it all just feels like the biggest slap in the face.

Each time I work on a new 'how to' document, I get sad that it'll be my last time doing X task and then I get angry. Why should I have to teach my outsourced replacement how to do my job? My first documents were very thorough and now I don't even care anymore. I also find it to be an incredible security breech to list our logins and passwords in these documents that are being emailed all over the place (from me to my supervisor then from her to the outsourcing supervisor and then to the outsourcing trainer) and I've raised my concerns twice in email with my supervisor.

I have 16 years of knowledge in my brain on how to do my job. If I forget a few steps, ehhhh. Oh! And we also had to indicate on our severance documents if we would be open to being contacted in the future for clarification on job tasks and if so, would we do it for free or require consulting compensation.
