I also just got laid off! My last day is in 2 weeks. How do I tell someone who just texted me for some deliverables that I don’t want to do them because I’m laid off?

Respond tomorrow and inform them you can help provide transition, but aren’t sure how much new work you can take on since you’ve been laid off

In the spirit of what SM1 is saying I’d do the bare minimum to preserve relationships. You can be polite but firm about needing to focus on finding a new job. As with most things it’s less about what you do than how you do it.

OP, first of all, sorry this happened to you (I was also laid-off a couple of weeks ago). As others mentioned, respond to the text, but tomorrow. Your priority now is to start finding new work and to transition any work that you have to the team, so they can complete it. If you're on the hook to complete the task, complete it if it's something that you an complete quite quickly. If it's something that will take you the two weeks, transition the work. Best of luck and everything will be alright.

What the first two said. Don't reply until Monday but get it done before you leave. If it truly can't be final before your departure you should propose a transition plan to another team member.

Why were you laid off?

like

If you've been given two weeks, it means they need you to continue working/transitioning your work, but if you decide to kick and shove, you might risk not getting your severance pay depending on local laws and regulations. Get the work done to at least not risk your final settlement

Good luck.

Do the deliverables anyways but not today, it's Yom Kippur. Go relax today :)

Be professional about your client relationships and role transitions speak with your manager for guidance. Remember even if you’ve been laid off, relationships are never lost. Put your best foot forward and wish you well in life!

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people
