Spouse here of the recently laid off, my SO worked for a major analytics/data company for 7yrs. After breaking the news they asked him to stay on 3 weeks to off-board and basically create documentation for what he does, it’s weirdly specialized. They literally are asking him to be a dead man walking to train his replacement offshore/AI or otherwise? Tech friends is this normal? My industry they take your laptop and kick you out the door within the hour with a few weeks severance if your lucky.

I’m going thru the exact same thing. I’m spending more time looking for another job than creating documentation. If my boss thinks it’s so easy what I do then let the new person figure it out themselves.

It happened to me. Only agreed to it to have a few weeks of extra pay

In my case they eliminated the whole department and we “had” to complete ongoing client engagements

I wouldn’t do it, solely out of spite. Let them figure it out, and walk out the door with head held high.

Create an LLC and then charge for the time through the LLC. Technically you’re not employee anymore after your departure date on your severance paperwork. You’re not required to do anything after that.

If he’s getting paid for that work, do only what he has to take the money and go. Spend most of your time in that three weeks looking for a new job.

How general/specific are the skills for healthcare consulting. Recently got an offer for healthcare operations but not 100% certain yet if healthcare is the industry I would want to stay in and want to see how transferable the skills are and how employers look at you after 2-4 years in healthcare consulting. I’m also in my mid 20s.
