I am a lathe programmer set up for company that needs one and I had no training no nothing they needed someone who can do the job effectively and I have been and I’ve been pushing their parts out creating processes. They recently hired a guy and he’s getting paid 1/3 less than me. New guy has situated himself in the shop yet and he makes his way towards my machine and wants to know all about them. Figures. Days go by. Today he asked me if for some reason my boss would come up to me and ask to train him on the machine would I? I responded that I wouldn’t like to awnser him on that and that I only speak to my boss for orders. So given that thought. Are they planning to enact this idea? They would most likely replace me if he somehow knew everything I know. There’s only 2 machines and my coworker is on the other one.

How would I go about this situation? They hired me for my experience and now I’m exploited

I came in to work for a small company and they weren’t getting shit done worker to worker until I came in now a new hire who gets paid less boss wants me to train everything I went to school for and all I know. That’s clearly not fair as everywhere you’d go you’d have to know already and that’s how the treated me when I came in I didn’t even have to ask anything my 1.5 months of being here and now they want me to train everything I knew? What have you guys done in this case? There’s also just a machine so there’s no reason for people to run this machine just one
