No. Proceed as normal. If anything, it makes me wonder what they're doing if all the staff is leaving.

This is going to be tricky but you should not feel obligated in any way other than to make sure that transition is smooth.

I did a similar thing. Couple months ago flew out to NYC for a client to replace our departming manager AND director (whos duties would be split between myself and a filler/PT director) both of which sent in their 2weeks on the same day, but i knew I had an offer incoming. I explained my situation and noted that Id help out as much as possible and left on good terms. The partner was pissed but understanding.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.
