keep your integrity

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.

tell them there is a recursion in it

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

Chin up. You can only do so much. At the end of the day (well week in your case), it is not going to matter one bit. I know the pain you feel and have my thoughts... There is nothing worse than working on something when you have no more love for it.

I had this problem before. After the 1st week, I told them, I wasn't working past 6pm and no off hours. On my last Friday, I went to the bar at 4.30 (my going away drinkytime started at 4pm, people were waiting). They are just trying to get every last utility out of you.

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

[tumbledDown2earth]

Get logical .. you would also have enough to do with your release forms/processes .. be wise to spend time on the right things at the right time

[CS2011]

Well i left my company last month and only work i did in last 20 days is tell my manager that he can go and fuck himself of course politely :-D . but generally i make sure i finish the work assign to me but last manager was a big pain in ass so tit for that.

[Rage]

I would code every single line of code they require before leaving, and leave them some documented design ideas to improve their product. Mwwawawawawwawaaaaahah hahahah-

You should have a good idea how much work you can do in four days, taking into account any extra things you need to do as part of leaving (e.g. knowledge transfer, admin and form filling, security debriefs etc). If your list gets longer than that, just say 'sorry, there's no way I will get to this this week, best you give it to someone else'.

[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson]

Why worry? the worst that they can do is fire you, oh wait a minute thats not an instant dissmissable offence, so the worst would be for them to instigate dismissal procedures and you will be gone before they can complete them.

I suggest working through the highest priority items (or maybe just the items you feel like doing), slowly and carefully, commenting/documenting more than usual, for 8.00 hours a day. Nobody (rational) is going to fault you for not getting overwhelming work done when you already quit. You want to make sure your final work is your best. Once you are gone, you become the perfect person for your managers to blame for their own mistakes.
