How do you motivate yourself to continue working when you have an offer and are about to put your notice in? I’m on 7 deals right now and I just wanna go on my balcony and roll a joint 😂

I want to leave a good impression on my teams as to not burn bridges. Once your career spans longer than 8-10 years, you run into people over and over again that are now in different positions. It leaves a very good lasting impression if you take this period seriously to make the hand off seamless and not slack off. Any minor screw ups/errors would be vastly overlooked compared to perceived slacking off because you’re on your way out.

I’ve worked with several people who were on their way out. I distinctly remember the ones who were high performers but screwed me over when they put in their 2 weeks. I’d always take the average person who still realized they were being paid to do a job until their last day.

While I agree with leaving on good terms, it’s just insane to put someone on 7 deals at once and expect that person to grind until the last day.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
