Annoying and creepy

Anonymous - - Singapore

Today, my coworker insisted there must be an underlying, romantic reason for why I spend so much time teaching him everything, and that I didn't mean it when I told him that's what I'm paid to do. I'm actually supposed to train this guy for three weeks. Two more weeks to go. FML

If it was going out of business, why would they hire people?

I'm thinking it may be more like a bad job in terms of treatment or pay/benefits, so they have to hire replacements for people that quit
