  • A businesswoman packs up her desk in an office environment.
  • I resigned and my manager is trying to saddle me with new work

    I put in my two weeks last Tuesday, hoping to leave on a decent note and help with the transition.
  • But honestly, the timing says everything. Right before I quit, my manager handed me a whole new set of responsibilities
  • basically two jobs in one for barely any extra pay. It felt less like an opportunity and more like being taken advantage of. That was my breaking point.
  • A businesswoman sits on the floor looking through documents in an office.
  • Now, during my last days, she wants me to document everything I do step-by-step and even start taking on those new responsibilities before I leave. On top of wrapping up my current work.
  • A yellow Post-it note reading "I Quit" sits on a keyboard.
  • I'm not trying to make things difficult or burn bridges, but it's just not realistic. I'll finish my current work and help hand
  • things off that's fair. But I can't take on more than that, especially on my way out. Just trying to leave with some dignity and move on.
  • A resignation letter sits on a desk.
  • Inevitable_Professor. Fail. What's the worst that can happen?
  • AmazingCantaly ⚫ Cant do all of that in 2 weeks boss, please prioritize this list of things
  • BigRedJeeper ⚫ Do NOT work any OT on this extra work. Put in your hours and go home. This is no longer your problem
  • SilverLordLaz⚫ Ok... just do what you have time for, and ignore the rest
  • Defiant-Sand9498. Just do the bear minimum no extra on less, what you don't get done you don't get done
  • eathWorship ⚫ Just don't do it. What are they gonna do, fire you? It's someone else's problem in two weeks. Let it be.
