Leave your brain on the desk when you go 6

[Gymmeh]

So I am leaving my company at the end of the week.

I was asked to write up a guide on all the excel programs I made and all the facility projects I am working on. I have nothing wrong with this –they are the property of the company- and fully want the next person to be up to speed with this position and what has been done and what can be done.

I wrote a number of excel programs, and have no problem with someone learning them and then using them. My concern is that someone will use them without understanding their limitations and even if I make a guide explaining them. The major one is a guy which was demoted from an engineer position to a sales position for making some decisions which where against Code, just ignorant, and bad. As most of you know, you don’t get demoted for making one mistake… he has repeatedly made mistakes and ignored basic concepts. I was given complete oversight of all his projects to prevent any projects being released that could have problems. Because of this I also know he really wants to do “engineering” and may try to do it after I leave.

What do you guys normally do with information which is only known to you?

Thanks

Don't lose a minute of sleep worrying about their post-Gymmeh fate.

Gymmeh,

Congratulations on getting your new job. Although we would all like to forget our soon-to-be former employers, you never know when you may need a reference (which I needed from 3 previous employers when I went for additional PE Licenses). Its usually best to leave on as good terms as you can, even when they don't deserve it.

Exactly. Save your sweary goodbyes to ex-wives.
