That sucks a lot. Sorry.

**** them, prove your better with your new job, with higher pay

Happens all the time. I'm a Manager training a project person on a job I have 17 years experience doing (this is her first year). She makes over $5k more a year than I do.

Ask for a raise, if they don't give it to you, you should find a place were you are allowed to move up in your job.

Teach your trainee that nothing in life is free, and demand a fee for your scholarly tutelage ...

There is nothing wrong with negotiating for a better comp package, and when you're hiring in is the best time to do it. While there's obviously no YDI in this for you for hiring in under different economic conditions, you can't really be mad that someone else took advantage of the current conditions to make the bet of the situation.

If you are being replaced, maybe figure out why? As for the replacement making more money, it didn't really matter. It's not your job anymore. Apparently.

Learn to go higher up!!

Don't train them at all. Just **** with them, and by the time you've trained them, they'll know nothing.

OP here. I'll start by saying I'm leaving tis job voluntarily. I'm moving to a new town, I'll actually be making more at my new job. I have no hard feelings towards my current company. They even offered to pay me more to get me to stay, but sadly they don't have a branch in the town I'm moving too. To be clear this is a manager position I worked up too and they decided to raise the starting pay of my job after they started looking for someone. Apparently they think if the pay is good enough they might get someone as close to how good I am. So I took that As a compliment, I don't plan on screwing the new girl over. I just find it funny they wait until they are losing me to finally listen to me about how my department is under appreciated. I do wish them all the best though, they are making some great strides to being better. Sorry for the long response!
