    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

      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.

      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

          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'.

              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.

              You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                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.
