I’m going on adoption leave for a year from the first week of December. I’m a senior member of staff, my work are saying that there won’t be an official/formal handover between me and the person (she’s currently working for the same company but in a different department) who will be covering my job when I’m off. I had expected there to be a handover and as part of that I would also talk her through the projects that I’m working on and what needs doing and what has already been done as well as other things. But my work are saying that they’re will be no handover and that she will just be expected to start covering my job when I go and leave, no handover or another. I think this is really poor practice to be honest. I know it’s not really any of my business what happens whilst I’m on leave but I’ve worked really hard on these projects and expected that I would be able to hand them over properly when I go on leave instead of her just taking my job over and continuing to work on these projects without her having any information on them whatsoever, I feel quite nervous to be honest about handing my projects over to someone who hardly knows anything about them due to the lack of a handover. Is it normal for there not to be a handover of any sort in these situations? AIBU to have expected a handover? They literally just want me to go on leave and then the next day she starts covering my job and managing these projects without her having any information about them and no handover or anything so that’s why I’m surprised that there’s not going to be any official handover between us or anything. It all just screams very poor practice to me, normally the company is good and very well run in my experience though besides this lack of handover. Also, there are other external companies involved with these projects that it would be good for me to introduce her to as well before she starts covering my role but I can’t because of the lack of any handover between us.
