Leaving job - need advice

in December 2015 Moms
So I told my supervisor yesterday that October 31st would be my last day. So now I'm having to train two backup helpers and then I'm sure I'll have to train my replacement. I've always had to train people and last time I did I became overwhelmed badly. I asked him if the two other people in my department can help and he said yes but I want you to organize it. He said because I always do it. But is it wrong of me to be resentful of this? He knows it overwhelmed me previously. I always have been a little resentful though because I always get extra responsibility with the same paygrade. Just suck it up until I leave I suppose lol?

    If I were you, I would be a bit resentful, but I would just "suck it up until you leave." I quit working right before my first son was born. When I trained my replacement, I let her do most of my work as practice while I sat by for questions, which let me do quite a bit of relaxing at the end of my pregnancy. Would that be possible? Or by "organizing it" as your boss said, could you provide a simple, high-level list of topics for your coworkers to cover with him/her and let them handle it from there? After all, since you're leaving, it would be in your coworkers best interest to get this new person ready to work along side them.

    lol I am in the same boat as you, after I told my work I was prego our payroll clerk quit. Since I had payroll experience at a different job they asked me if I could pitch in and do payroll for a few weeks until they found a replacement. I was so stressed out learning a new job and going my old job. They then hired someone and I've had to train him not for 3 weeks while still doing my own job. I will then have to train my replacement. Not to mention my boss is a crazy bitch and actually got mad that I was so busy the other day(umm excuse me you are the one that passes me off to different depts while still keeping the same workload). I can not wait to leave in December and I won't be coming back unless I can't find a replacement in the year im off. Just suck it up and finish strong.

    I am in a similar position. I come home almost every night in tears venting to my DH that I have about 4 different job titles but only get paid for one. I am over worked and under appreciated and no matter how many times I tell my boss I'm overwhelmed she said "well we have plans in the works" and it's been going that way for about a year now. He keeps telling me that it's I only have to stick it out for 5 more months then it will be behind me and I will have the best gift. But it's a little hard to see that when you are an emotional train wreak. I'm training a girl right now for my back up and she is FINALLY seeing all the stress I go through.

    What I am doing is just training and getting my work done. I have decided to not go above and beyond and work all these extra hours that stress me to no end. If you have voiced to your boss your concerns and he doesn't do anything about it, you have done all you can do. Like my therapist and DH say " you only have a few more months. Keep you and your baby priority number 1."

    Hope it gets better for you!
