  let say u are happy with your job. Your company hire a new staff as your understudy. will u teach everything u know to the understudy? or teach him only 80% and keep the rest of the 20% to yourself.

  I will teach him/her everything so I can skive while he/she does everything...

  My team exchanges all information, and I'm comfortable with that because of my experience with cross-trained teams during NS - at any given point, each team member knows what jobs the others have on their plate. One way or another, the job's got to be done and if you're going to hoard everything for yourself you're just taking a voluntary trip up sh!t creek and throwing away the paddle.
  
  At any given time, there might be one person working at 120% and another working at 75%, so the load may as well be shared between the two with the understanding that the favour will be returned when the reverse situation occurs. If my team members didn't know how to take over, I'd be stuck with too much work and there would be no choice for me.
  
  As with any cross-trained team, each member has a specialty, so there's no need to worry about redundancy.

  totally agree with you.
  that's why i always impart my 100% knowledge to my new staff.
  new staff are hired to share your workload or to replace you while you are promoted to do some other stuffs ba!
  also, if your staff always gong gong and make mistake, you think your boss will think you are very lihai meh???? your boss sure will think simple thing like teaching staff you also cannot do well, then why should i give you more important things to do?
  and most of your colleagues or superiors will sure blame you first if your disciple screw up. then your disciple also won't like you because of course he/she will know that you are being selfish or what. then your colleagues all these will also badmouth about you, say you selfish also and kiasi also.
  
  see! so many bad things will happen! so have a generous heart!

  or it could be cheaper staffs are hired to replace u, a older staff who drawing too much salary.
  
  for example, with your salary, the company can hire 2 new staffs, one can do whatever u are doing while the other can do other stuff.
