[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 9515711, member: 27897"] Sounds like typical HR shenanigans. They don't seem to understand the level of urgency and think that someone with the appropriate skills can just walk on-site, with zero onboarding, and somehow intuit the peculiarities and culture of a new workplace. One of our faculties had an excellent departmental assistant. She used to be one of our switchboard workers and took a small promotion from the IT/Comms group into this faculty. Because of her exposure to our group she understood the importance of being on top of the department's tech. She kept excellent records, scheduled when equipment was up for replacement, and the like. She also knew our policies extremely well, which made it a pleasure to work with her when her department needed help. When she retired, she offered to hang on for an additional few weeks to train her replacement. In the end there was a two week gap between her leaving and the replacement starting. for several years that faculty was one of the worst on campus to deal with. At least until a couple of us managed to 'train' the replacement right. [/QUOTE]
