Forced to Leave the Rising Tide

zesty_pintolmao The workload at the job I'm getting kicked from is at an all-time high in numbers. Before I was going to scale down the work I was doing to try to train the team, but now it seems moot anyway since I wouldn't give the team more work when we're getting inundated like this.
My replacement didn't even attend the meeting, not like it matters since I don't think she does any of the processing anyway. Did she not attend because of guilt? Because she couldn't be bothered? Because she was on leave? Well whatever, I don't think she expected the job to be like this and I explained my position enough to know that I am not far off from being that xkcd strip.
I don't like to bloviate myself but even I will admit that this job involves a lot of specialized skills and a willingness to work fuckoff hours just to make sure your team has everything it needs while finding ways to work around limitations from a needy client and I have been doing just that. It's a puzzle solver position for workaholics that like a challenge.
I have yet to see her do any of this, even right before I received the sendoff notification. She's asking me for help instead of checking previous notes and reverse engineering. She doesn't even come from production which is the kind of skill/grindset you need for this job (hence why I mentioned in a previous post that there's a likely chance she's a nepo hire).
Two people are also on leave, so that's going to be fun.
I could just... leave and let it come crashing down. Maybe experience video games again...!

Stupid moral compass.
Edit: Okay fine, there's also the fact that it'll be more amusing when it's the last week and they experience the full force of the hoisted petard.
