Leaving a company
-
My last day with my current employer is Friday, and while they keep adding stuff to my to do list. I am struggling to stay engaged and productive. Anyone else have this issue? BTW it's not uncommon for them to dump more work on me with the expectation that I will just get it done no matter how many hours it takes (the reason I am leaving). X|
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
So, presumably, for the last week, you are working your standard, contracted 8 hour days, right?

Just start telling them, there is no way you can complete this before you go and it would be better they re-allocate to someone else so at least it has a chance of being progressed this week.

If you keep doing what you've been doing you'll keep getting what you been getting!

Don't you getting sick or something, cough and cold may be... or just tell them you forgot to put comments on that last 5000 lines of code, oh and tell them there is a recursion in it :)

Just keep your integrity and work normal.

That's the only reason I am struggling so much with this.

Integrity doesn't pay the bills and, in this instance, means your employer is taking the piss out of you because he knows that he can walk all over you.

I don't think they would understand what that meant, so I would have to endure a meeting about it.

I think it's human nature to have a hard time finding motivation in this situation, all you can do is your best, suffer through the week, try not to burn bridges, try and leave on good terms. Admittedly, this may be easier said than done. I have to agree with ryan31 here, be professional.

They must've thought you were some kind of comedian.

Honestly I'd just tell them to stuff it, and depending on how well they have treated you and how nice they are, I would also do a poor job of the work they keep giving you despite knowing that your leaving.

I live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your god-damn spine!
That is a good foundation for a response, but you may want to temper your response somewhat.

Work your standard hours and put in a reasonable effort to make progress. Remember to save some time in the last two days (if you can stretch it out that long) to do a thorough handover to someone else - that way you can leave with a clear conscience!!

simple, straight and honest .. I would say the same .. And this is a common scene for most leaving a company .. I know some people would actually think, that by this way they can actually curb attrition
