Reminds me a job I had early on in life working under several intelligent people but unknowningly replacing 3.
Out of the 3 the 1st pushed me and encouraged me to move on when we debated who should stay, the 2nd was a surprise because I asked her why she was training me but sadly it was then I learned of her animosity toward me and her 30 years on payroll.
Which brings me to the last person I was replacing - the data scientist, the man that verfied my numbers and surely was verifying a lot of other things.
so having the guilt of the first two I happened to have a situation outside of my control land in my lap, I left the company immediately, positive they kept him onboard for atleast another 6 months to a year.
great experience nonetheless.
tldr: cost reduction hire, had to be vetted 1st - split before my conscience weighed too heavy.
