Those two weeks after you give in your two-week notice are either the sweetest or most bitter weeks of your entire time working at the company you've decided to leave. One of two things happens: You either get to kick back and relax for the remainder of your days working there, OR you get assigned one billion things by your bitter boss. In this case, OP got to experience the latter.

See, OP's resignation was only an issue because their manager wanted to move into a more senior role within the company. She'd been transitioning all of her work onto OP, who was already deep amidst job hunting. When she found out OP was quitting, she became visibly upset, but being the 'professional' she was, didn't say anything out loud.

Instead, she opted to make OP's life incredibly difficult… scroll down to read exactly what that entailed. Then, a new hire got left in charge of EVERYTHING after finding out the employees on their team quit the day they began working. Yikes.
