NYT Mini Documentary: Training Your (Overseas) Replacement

In the past few years, there has been a lot of coverage of American workers being asked to train the foreign workers taking over their jobs. Remember Disney?

This NYT documentary is a little different. It’s about an entire plant moving overseas and the American workers being asked to train the workers at the new Mexico plant.

As such, it’s not as strictly immprof-y as the Disney H1B tale. Nevertheless, it’s worth watching the 14 minute film. It manages to capture the same conflicts (should I train my replacement and get paid? Or would doing so make me complicit in an immoral endeavor?) with real emotional impact.
