• In this story, an employee with a specialist role got laid off from their longtime workplace. On top of that, he found out that a friend of his at work had just been reassigned to a new job that he had no idea how to do.

  The laid off worker suspected that the company expected him to teach his coworker how to succeed in the role. Otherwise, his performance was likely to suffer, and he would also lose his job. However, he felt conflicted as to how to move forward as he prepared to leave his role and his colleague.
