Several coworkers and I have been busy at work the last few weeks training some of our colleagues who are visiting from our company's offices in India and Singapore.
These engineers are here to learn "all of our systems and procedures" ostensibly to ensure that there are more engineers available on evening and overnight shifts for Ops staff to escalate problems to, but in actuality they are likely here to replace the engineers we have on staff.
There has not been any word from above saying that this is definitely going to happen, but why would there be? If they let us know that we were training our eventual replacements, our inevitable complaints would make managers' lives more difficult...
Sometimes it seems in order to get the best performance from the staff in smaller offices like mine is to treat us like farmed mushrooms: keep us in the dark and feed us sh*t!

That sounds pretty terrible and nerve wrecking. The only problems I've ever had on an actual job were discouraging managers, actually I'm pretty sure one manager said things that could be counted as sexual harassment..but that has nothing to do with preparing someone else to replace me on the job! I don't know what I would do in your situation, I don't envy you at all!
