after you gave notice did partners try to squeeze every last bit of work out of you in remaining 2 weeks or ice you out completely for remainder of time there?

Squeezed every little drop left in me. But also gave me a generous parting gift as a show of appreciation for me sticking around to help out with massive deadlines.

Just transitioned me out. All the work I did was because I wanted to and didn’t want to be a jerk to the people taking over my stuff. Most lawyers in this position after giving two weeks don’t need the money, and they know that.

Besides, why would they want you to do tons of work when you’re checked out and wrapping up? Now, the tables are turned with respect to associates I knew that have been fired. That depends. I’ve seen one firm who basically let people spend the time to find a new job, another where they did try to get every hour of work out of the individual.

I was taken off most of my cases almost immediately. Besides finishing up tasks that were near completion I got zero new work.

Iced me out but insisted I stay the two weeks, mostly to be mean to the new rival firm, I think.

Iced

Squeezed. Even tried to make me start and finish documents needed a few months in the future

I was begging to be iced out. The opposite happened. They were trying to staff me on new matters right up to the Monday of my last week. Just leave me alone!!
