Not in a way that I've really followed up on after, but bringing up the next 'class' in the sense of giving the new folks those tricks that are not in the books and letting them take over where you left off happens a lot in my work. I suspect people do so more than they know every day though. Sometimes all it takes is to sell someone on the idea that they can do the thing that they're not so sure of.

I do know I've been on the receiving end of it though.
