New poster.  I don't think it's so strange in general to be worried about "being replaced."  However, if that's a concern, then the detail assignment should have been considered carefully (I guess it would be too late right now to cancel that, even OP wanted?).  My situation was a little different in that my "detail" was maternity leave, but I was in a job that required a unique set of skills that my other peers did not have; however, they could not leave the position vacant during my leave so they had another peer "fill in" for me.  Well, that person did a good enough job that they decided to keep her in "my" job once I came back, and I got re-assigned to something else which ended up not being a good fit and eventually caused me to leave the company, which I was not pleased about.

OP here again-- yes this is where I was going. No the co-worker would not be able to take my position (and not what concerns me). If I were dealing with a group of mature professionals, I'd have no issue and probably have recommended the opposite. I've come to learn this person is very unhappy in their personal life and career and it's pretty evident in their actions over the last year.

Their current intent is not simply "I want more experience".  This person has been manipulative in the past regarding another position within the office. Sad, but true. However, I will not hinder my career and not go on detail. I was looking to see how others would handle the situation. The responses have given me points to ponder and I do appreciate them. My main goal is to work on getting as much experience in the current position, then get up and out:) It's a toxic situation that upper management doesn't care to handle.

I don't think you know what a fact is.[/quote]

Actually I do. The manager said as much. She's not planning to stay very long and simply waiting to hear about another opportunity. [/quote]
