I don't see what's wrong with someone who wants to keep their job refusing to train others who could replace them.

I see. Trying to train is OK, it's the succeeding that is the problem. You are wise.

It's marvelous that the old company went out of business. Hopefully now you work for a direct competitor. You have gloating rights in that case.

Here's another idea that might work for some who have computer jobs.

Refuse to train someone else to do your job. I met a computer guy who works in the office of a major aircraft manufacturing plant. He is the ONLY employee at the company who can do what he does. Maybe he has passwords nobody can figure out? Anyway, he is paid by the hour plus overtime and works overtime every week. They have to work him overtime since nobody else can do his job. Several times, he has been asked to train others how to do his job and every time they ask, he refuses. He won't train anyone until he retires. He told me they can't lay him off or fire him and he intends to keep it that way. He makes a ton of money and has more job security than many of the bosses at the company. The only way he gets the ax is if the company closes. So if you have a computer job that nobody else knows how to do and you're asked to train someone, my advice: refuse

If I told you to train someone and you refused, I can promise you that you would lose your job. Honestly, how in the world do you even think that is a good idea?

It seemed to work for him. He owns a beautiful home fully paid for in a wealthy neighborhood and makes a lot of money. Being the only one who knows how to perform his particular job does have its disadvantages though. He said he works 7 days a week and only gets 2 days off a month.

Sorry, but even if he isn't feeding you a line of bullshit, I don't see the advantage here. I would rather have less money and more time to enjoy life.
