Anyone ever just coast and not do work you are assigned during your two week notice? I put in my notice one week to go. I don’t want to do ANYTHING.

This is what I did!

I'm awaiting conflicts to clear right now and believe me, I get the lack of motivation. But candidly this is a really bad idea and anyone who tells you otherwise has a lot to learn about the way this industry works. Your reputation is all you really have to trade on, so it's not worth damaging your credibility and goodwill on the way out the door. You never know who you're going to need, who you'll show up on the other side from, or even whether the grass won't end up proving greener and you might end up wanting to boomerang. Be a good team player, do the same quality of work you've always done, help ensure things get smoothly transitioned, and go out with grace.

My last day was last Friday. I didn’t do a damn thing those last two weeks except catch up on sleep, watch my shows, and plan a vacation. By the time anyone asks for status, you can just say it’s time to transition it to someone else anyway. Then you kiss everyone’s ass in the farewell email and you’re golden
