How not to cooperate at work politely

223

Why has she been able to push forward these things but you didn't. Honestly I'd just do what you are being asked, it's only for a few weeks.

Any annual leave left? I would try and be as unavailable as possible, so rather than no I won't help you, say so sorry I'm not here or I'm busy doing x y or z.

To be honest any excuse however flimsy, as long as it's polite will be fine, you are leaving so presumably don't care if they think you're not helping them, as long as you don't actually say that.

Wow you sound nice. Why do you dislike her so much that you want to see her fail? Is it that she stopped you being able to do these things? I feel like we need some back drip feed on why she's to blame for this situation

Is it within your job remit to help or are you expected to do it as extra? If the latter just cite work load as you need to get stuff wrapped up before you leave. If the former just suck it up and do it

What is she doing that has enabled her to push stuff through that you weren't doing?
I am not sure that I understand. Have they given her more tools to do the job? Were you just not 'leaning in' enough? In either case, you would be severely unprofessional to not support her in her position before you leave.

Are you staying in the same company or leaving completely?

If leaving completely, just be a bit slow to respond and gently fob her off (oh I’m not sure / we never kicked off any work on that / this was tricky to get going because of X / I didn’t really get to look into that)

If you’re moving roles, I’d suck it up and be a bit more helpful, but make sure your name is attached to it so anyone involved knows how much should be credited to you

'Oh gosh this was never part of my role, I have no idea how to do that'.

I'm leaving a role

However, the parts of my job which never got going have been absorbed into a colleague's new role

AIBU for not really wanting to cooperate with her?

Yes YABU. You are leaving, it's part of her role and it isn't her fault it wasn't part of your role. What is to be gained from being difficult?

Don't be a dickhead OP

Have you seen the film The Lunch Box. A sub plot is the retiring worker who is supposed to train his replacement. He has a few tactics to avoid it - like being too busy, scheduling other meetings etc.

Ultimately it's not that easy to do - but you could try doing what politicians always do, which is just keep summarising all the issues that need addressing but never offer any solutions. If you do this you can run the clock until there's no more time so you appear to have participated but actually haven't.

What's the point in being difficult and making your colleagues' life harder?

It's not her fault she's in this situation, is it?

You're about to be very very busy, OP. Very busy.

Is she personally responsible for the fact your job didn't go as it was supposed to?

It's not her fault that she got a better job than you. Get over it, nothing can be done. Enjoy your new role and see if you can get yourself in a better place than you wanted to be originally. That's the only revenge you need

Wow. No, seriously don't be a cow and just help her! Why WOULDN'T you?! You sound bitter as hell

I wouldn’t help her. I think it is cheeky to expect you to train her. Let her develop her skills but you don’t need to enable her ambition. Normally I’m all for helping anyone but this seems too much to ask.

Can’t say if you’re being U without more information.
However there are plenty of strategies, say that there are many dependviws, say that you need to request persmissoom for certain things, X Y Z.

You’re not going to be of much help if you’re leaving in a few weeks anyway!

No I don’t think you are BU. I don’t think you need to make things ‘difficult’ but no I wouldn’t cooperate to be honest. It’s her chance to put a stamp on her role so let her get on with it and genuinely wish her the best of luck.

Come down with a case of COVID so you can only do limited work from home.

That will see you safely through to the end of the year.

Well, I don’t believe in karma, but wouldn’t it be interesting if you turned up in new job and some arsehole was deliberately obstructive in showing you what you needed to see because they were jealous that you’d been given what they wanted to do?

Do come back with another AIBU if that happens 🤣

It's not being a cow.

OP was treated poorly in the job. She's leaving.

There is no reason on earth she should put herself out. As for the colleague, it would seem a good idea to stay well out of whatever the new arrangements for exciting challenging projects are, as you won't be there for long. Much better for new colleague that this is made clear to management from the start, and they can stump up for proper training with ongoing support.

I cant say whether you are being unreasonable and I have the feeling that there is backstory here....but for your own mental health (and yes I sound like your grandmother) I'd be helping the new girl.

Take your JD to the bosses and say '[new start person] is asking me for help training her up, but as I never got to do items 3, 5 and 8 on my JD, I can't responsibly do so.'
