Put in my 2 weeks and my boss is giving me more work. My boss is not touching anything that I work on but continuing on as if I am staying...
Do I just work hard and leave it alone? What to do?

Did you expect your last two weeks to just be like all party and no work? Like, it's just a formality? You gotta come in but aren't really expected to do anything? Like, they just want two weeks to look at you and breathe in your aura before it's gone forever and they'll let you do nothing just to get a few last whiffs??

It's still your job, do it.

Work hard to your 40 hours a week because you’re still being paid, but make sure it’s all tracked in an offboarding doc of what’s been done and what’s left to do. They probably expect you to do it all so they don’t have to.

I am maybe projecting, but I don’t think OP is complaining that there’s work to do *overall*.
I read it as
1) getting more work than normal, and taking advantage to try and get things done with their skill set so they don’t have to and
2) a concern that their boss is setting themselves up for failure once they leave, and not learning what OP is doing at all.
Could be wrong but I want to assume good intent by OP here.

Just work hard and ride it out. One less bridge burned.

You ARE staying there for two more weeks...

Do your job. If it’s out of your scope prior to putting your two weeks, ask for help but be professional.

I’d power through it but there’s a limit. If you don’t ever plan on coming back you have less to lose.

Do what you can and let them know what you won’t be able to finish. Document it in a email and cc or bcc HR.

Hello FinTech community!
Currently looking to fill 3 headcount in my team at a London based Series D Unicorn FinTech startup.

Specifically I’m looking for experienced Application Security Engineers.

The team, including these roles are 100% remote, although you must be based in the UK.

If working in an office is more your style, we have the option to book desks on an ad-hoc basis.
We’re currently moving to our brand new office, near London Bridge.

Hope to hear from you!
