HI, so I'm 22, never had a job and have baby so I need to put some bread on the table. finally somebody has offered me a job from a previous work placement as an IT Technician. the only problem is, I know the guy that i'm replacing and I feel horribly guilty about it. my trial day is tomorrow I need some advice on how to go about the matter without having a meltdown and declining the offer.

You're not there to make sure everyone has a job.There is no room for guilt if the company decided to let him go themselves, it's up to you to prove yourself and don't get replaced.
it's amazing how when someone that you don't know puts it into perspective. i'm just dreading walking into the office tomorrow and seeing him standing there like "wait, why are you here" it's gunna be a hard and I don't know what to do in that situation as i'm probably the most socially awkward person you have ever met
If your roles were reversed, would he turn it down if it meant replacing you?
The fact that you're only getting a job because you have a child makes me think this 'guilt' is just an excuse to not work
no I doubt he would, aghh I hate feeling like i'm being a shit human being, why is life so hard
no, i've been trying to find a job for ages before I had a child, though when ever I put my CV out there, I get no replys, I have the qualifications and stuff just no experience and where I live you either need that or connections. Just happened to bump into the boss of my old work placement and he said he didnt like the attitude of the guy that works there and offored me the trial day
