Managers suddenly extra nice after giving written notice. Gave ~2 weeks notice after working in a gov call center that has been destroying my mental health. Asked to transfer off phones but they said no. Right before providing written notice I got the cold shoulder and manager resisted helping me with angry clients but after sending it they have been nicer and willing to help or be more flexible. Why is that? Do they not want me to leave suddenly or they’re just pretending while I’m still here?

A lot of times government jobs will do exit interviews, and what gets said in them can have an impact on a manager's career. It's conceivable your manager realizes that you could do them some damage if you denigrate them in the exit interview. If they're a bad manager they may be concerned about their boss realizing what they're really like.

Does where you get your masters degree matter?
