They got no cooperation on anything to do with  documentation, or anything 
else, once I became a lame duck.
They wanted me  to train my 'replacement'.
What were they going to do?
Fire  me?

Ah, yes.  For a moment there I thought we were living in a perfect  world.  
Management, like voters, usually get what they deserve.
 
I was down-sized once and told I could leave as soon as I cleaned out my  
desk.  I made the terrible mistake of spending about another 30 minutes  
eliminating the last few statements flagged in a module I was assembling it,  
saving 
it, and writing a little documentation.  Shame on me.
 
But then I was down-sized another time and escorted out of the building  
immediately, not even being allowed to turn my desktop computer off.  Now  that 
was a proper down-sizing!
