I left a job at the end of March. I did a pretty thorough handover and left some notes, but the person taking over is very competent but very inexperienced - actually they haven't replaced me, she's acting up 3 grades until they do.

I did the usual "if you need anything..." and I have answered a few queries by text and phone.

It's probably true that I could have seen it coming and helped before I left, but it's not due until now.

I like her a lot and she was an excellent "assistant" to me. I'd like to see her succeed. However, I have no loyalty to the organisation or the leadership, and was glad to see the back of them (as, I suspect, they were me).

I'm not inclined to find the time, even though I could....
