My contract is ending earlier by the end of this month and my boss keeps assigning me presentation to put together and wants me to present in front of leadership before I leave.

I haven’t done it but I don’t even see a reason I should lol does anyone think I should??

Use this as an opportunity for learning.
Put the presentations together, present to leadership so they can see the talent they are losing, and add that to your resume "Created X and presented to Y audience showing Z metrics".

Even when laid off, there's no need to burn potential bridges and give people the excuse on why you were let go.

I've been laid off 2 weeks ago and yet spent the last minute fixing issues in production.

Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out?

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
