3 days before my last day at work, what’s best to do?

robertsnj · 56-60, M Best Comment
don't make it a big production. make connections on LinkedIn or via emaiil with people that may be able to help you later in your career. See how likely your boss is to give you a personal recommendation. Pack up your stuff on the 3rd day leaving only the bare minimum you need to do your job.

Make sure you do as much of a knowlede transfer as you can to your co workers on whatever you were working.

take the time to thank any co-workers who helped you when you when you worked there.

you can probably cut out early on your last day. brown bag your lunch and if possible ask your boss if you can skip out at lunch time. Keep as low key as possible during your last few days and don't burn bridges even with co-workers you didn't like too much.

@AngelKrish It is not 100 % a great experience, maybe 60. But it paid my bills so yes, thankful still

Don’t get fired. Lol
@TessDun If you have any aspect of your post-work life which might be impacted by these ppl, be sterling.

@SomeMichGuy Trying to keep myself out of trouble, thought it’s challenging. So I choose to take leaves without pay as I’ve already consumed my earned leaves. My pending tasks are already closed.
@TessDun Smart.

If you take bark or roots, do they have to pay?

Office chair races in the hallway.
Step up your surreptitious "borrowing" of office supplies...! 😉🤣

Seriously, put together an exit interview doc to say what you found helpful or useless

@SomeMichGuy I got up and left in the middle of the day, after seventeen years there.

I think that was my best exit interview.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@SomeMichGuy I have so many things in my house I don’t use.
The newly promoted team leader only hires male good looking applicants, in an office desk job best suitable for females. She is worth mentioning in the exit interview. She loves male companions only. The manager hired me before she was promoted.
@SW-User Brilliant

Steal office supplies

Tie up all loose ends.

Then PARTY!!!!!
@TessDun I think you can present it as something which has bothered you for some time, but which you saw no way to try to discuss or flag, because ofbhow this person controlled your job and its environs.

[And the snacks. 😉]
TessDun · 36-40, F
@SomeMichGuy Yes for snacks. ;)
Umile · 41-45, F
@TessDun You just might be. Not worth it. Unless they push you to it. There's a line.

Take all good and positive experience with you and leave all negativity right there when you leave.
Good luck in your future endeavor.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
quitting or for vacation?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@TessDun that is a bold move. Have you been there before?
TessDun · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 yes twice
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@TessDun so you know what you are getting into.

Chat to your friends who you will miss.

@SW-User I have like 7 people I always have lunch with, 2 are backstabbers.
@TessDun Tell the two that you have long known that they are backstabbers, and that you have warned everyone else about them.

Just carry on as normal and leave on good terms with everyone.
