I competed with a boss ( I was the interim director). He got the job. Then I trained him for a year. He would not learn major portions of his job description. One day, in a staff meeting I asked when he though he might assume the rest of his job description duties. He told me it was easier to ask me. I said, 'What a minute, you've been here a year and I'm doing 40% of your job description and you're not learning because it is easier to ask me!" He said, I didn't mean it like that. I asked how he meant it and he ended the meeting.

I was "laid off" 6 weeks later.
