Company wants a 100-page manual for an outsourced team before I leave
I put in my notice two weeks ago after landing a senior BIM coordination role that actually pays what the market dictates. My current manager seemed fine at first but then he dropped a massive bomb during our sync yesterday. Since the department is "restructuring" they arent hiring a direct replacement for me. Instead they are outsourcing my entire workflow to a firm overseas that has zero experience with our specific mechanical standards or Revit templates.
The kicker is that my manager expects me to spend my final ten days writing a comprehensive step by step technical manual for this new team . She specifically asked for a document that covers every single edge case and custom script I use to keep the projects on track. When I told her that a hundred page manual is a project in itself and wont fit into my remaining hours while I am also closing out three active jobs she got incredibly passive aggressive . She hinted that if the "knowledge transfer" isnt satisfactory it might reflect poorly on my final performance review and future employment verifications .
I have spent seven years building these processes and half the stuff I do is based on intuition and technical troubleshooting that you cant just write down in a pdf for someone who doesnt know the difference between a pipe and a duct. It feels like they are trying to strip mine my brain for cheap labor before kicking me out the door. I offered to record a couple of screen shares and leave my basic file structures organized but that wasnt enough for her .
She actually told me I should stay late every night this week to "do the right thing for the team". The irony is that this same team has been understaffed for a year and they never cared about my workload until it affected their bottom line. I am seriously considering just handing in my equipment early and taking the hit on the last few days of pay just to avoid the headache .
Is it even worth trying to play nice at this point or should I just give them the bare minimum and let the outsourced team figure it out on their own?
