This seems to indicate to me the problem with our jobs.  Our jobs are transparent.  If we do them well no one notices, it's only when we do our jobs badly that people notice.  As a result, people have a tendency to think our job is really easy.



I think the reason your bosses aren't too concerned about training the temp is because their thought process is "Heck, that job is so easy the temp only needs a minimum of training and even then she can do the job with one hand tied behind her back".  Then the day arrives that you are in labour and the temp hasn't the foggiest how to book a meeting, change the toner, prepare a budget, etc.



On the plus side, the bosses will really appreciate you and what you do when you get back (for the first hour and then...)
