Soldato
Just after a bit of reaction to what you would do in this situation.
I'm currently working in IT at a fairly large site and have done the same job here for the last 14 years, IT was outsourced 7 years ago and now a new provider has won the contract they've decided to let all of the site staff go and rely on field engineers instead as a cost saving. They're wanting us to train these field staff up asap so they can get rid of us.
Would you be happy to train said people? We're feeling rather put out by this and doing a big of an (unofficial) go slow on the training until we can find something better ourselves.
Initially they were offering us retention bonuses until the dust settled and everyone was up to speed but that's now been pulled away.
What would you do and how would you feel about being asked?

they've been promising permanent jobs for 7 years just to string us along seemingly.
