My boss asked me to mentor her favorite, then used it against me.
Samuel was known as the most skilled team member.
He trained the new hire patiently.
Shared tips. Corrected mistakes quietly.
Even defended her in meetings.
During appraisal, his boss said,
“You’ve made yourself replaceable.”
Teaching without boundaries can cost you your position because loyalty doesn’t always protect your seat.
Should you teach everything you know at work?
