Experienced employee gets asked to train the new hire, leading him to discover the trainee is earning a higher salary: ‘I was honestly surprised the pay was this good for an entry-level gig’

How can you train someone to not take over your job, please and thank you?

Is there a lingering, unspoken worry that employees feel when they're asked to train a new hire, expected to pass on everything they've learned in just three days, when it took them 1,820 days to gain that knowledge? (Yes, that's five days a week for the last seven years. If you can't do the math, ask Matt's trainee in finance. He seems to know everything.)

Should your company be compensating you beyond your salary for your time and effort spent training someone else? Or is training something the company should be handling as a whole? Either way, as employees, we all have aspects of our jobs that we love, and others we could do without. Still, a job is a job, and we're responsible for meeting its expectations.

That said, if there's a part of us that feels like we're not truly receiving the fruits of our labor, it's important to face those feelings with honesty and speak up.

An employee teaches his trainee all the tricks of the trade, only to be left confused and frustrated upon learning that the trainee already earns the big bucks, while he's left scrambling for more. What’s the best way to deal with this unfortunate duo? Go to the boss and insist on a raise, or sit there quietly and accept an unequal fate?
