Today, at work, we were told by Wells Fargo that we'll be training our foreign replacements from India. After we train them, we're gone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we had two of our longest serving coworkers retire at the company I work at, and they hired two young prospects to replace them. The problem? They asked me to train them both for the next 4 months, cancelling my PTO in the process, and then I learned they were being paid nearly 20% more than I am. FML
Today, I have to train people overseas to do my job. If I succeed in teaching them what they need to know, then they get my job, and I get fired. If they don't perform well, then as the trainer I get blamed, and get fired. FML
Today, I was basically treated to, "Hey, you're laid off by the end of the month. Oh, and would you mind training your replacement? We have budget cuts, and he works for less." FML
Today, I landed my dream job with an international company. I figured I could work this until retirement, only to find out they hired me to shut down operations in my market. FML
Today, fifteen minutes before the end of the day, my boss asked me who I was training to replace me. He then said never mind, that it was his job to choose someone. I hadn't indicated that I was planning on leaving the company. FML
Today, I was notified that I'm being discharged after two weeks because my employers don't have the time to train me at my first real job in six years. FML
Today, the thirteenth new hire quit at the call center I work at, while still in training. We just started last week with a wave of 20 new hires. FML
Today, I went in for my first day of work. I told them three months in advance that I was going away for 2 weeks to build a school in a third world country. I was fired. FML
Today, my manager informed me that I will not be completing my job training because I'll be transferring to a different store, and if they want me to work there, that's their problem. Today, I also found out that the new store will not accept me as a transfer unless I've already been trained. FML
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Its a shame that you have to be from another country to keep your job anymore.

Depending on the laws where you live you can refuse.

Federal law is that you can’t require anyone to do any work unwillingly. Otherwise would be known as slavery.

This kind of thing ticks me off. Why are we giving jobs to foreigners when there are so many unemployed Americans? Granted, there are several lazy ones who don't want to work and would rather live off tax money, so a big middle finger to them. But there are decent, hard-working, honest people in this country who can't find work because of shit like this. How about we take care of our own people before we start giving jobs to immigrants?

Because it's cheaper to outsource it. You don't have to pay the employees as much in salary, can probably call them contractors so you don't have to pay benefits, and the executives pocket the extra profit.

The unemployment rate is near a historic low right now. That being said, this move is the latest dick move by WF. OP, have you tried contacting the local media? Bad publicity might help.

teach them how to do the job VERY wrong. worst that happens is they let you go.

Organize a silent strike or a walkout, and contact the media if this happens to any of you.

They already had problems with India in 2009 with the EDM team. Why try again?

Well, it's a shame that training process is likely to take 50-60 years.
