Was given terminated. Replacement bailed, so now I’m the team’s dumping ground.

Do what you want and ignore the rest. I'd suggest you spend this time updating your resume and looking for other work. What are they going to do if you don't? Terminate you?

Just don't do it lol.

You don’t want to do the work? 1. Then take sick days. 2. Do it incredibly poorly. 3. Do it incredibly slowly to the point all you turn in, is a concept. 4. Schedule a team huddle to review the projects criteria, run into many scheduling issues that delay the start. 5. T...

Take a page from the movie office space, just come into work when you feel like it and filet a fish on your desk

Easy: don't do their work. You got fired. Do your work, then leave. Fuck them.

1. If everything is urgent, then nothing is urgent. 2. Piss poor planning on you part does not constitute an emergency on mine. 3. You can have it done fast, right or cheap. Pick two, might only get one as your leaving. 4. Manager needs to manage expectations and plan contin...

Why are you even there? Walk out (unless your contract says otherwise) and take the time for yourself.

Promise them all that you will give it to them first thing on the 24th

oh hell naw i just wouldn't do work

Take a lot of poop breaks Extra credit: Announce loudly you have to poop and don't forget to proclaim loudly how things went.

Ok, I must admit I'm a bit confused. They terminated you, but you're still working there on a notice period? Is this a permanent job, temp job or a contract position? If it's temp or contract and they aren't renewing, it's not exactly a termination. Why didn't they renew th...

If they terminated me I would be doing the bare minimum. Maybe even less than that. They have already let you go. Are they going to fire you sooner? If so, so what? Take that 2 hour lunch. On the last day turn in all the work half done.

If you get called over for a talking to, look frightened and say “please don’t fire me” Look confused, then exclaim “oh yeah, you already did.” Walk back to your area.

You were termed. I don't know why you are even entertaining this. Tell them no. If they say that whole "you still work here" bit tell them "no, actually thanks to your choice. I do not in fact work here anymore." If they press it......leave. you don't work there anymore.

Is severance contingent on you doing this work? How is that written in the documentation? Maybe having an employment attorney review makes sense.

If you just did none of the work, what are they going to do, fire you again?

Simple. "(Manager), I'm afraid that I will only have the time to complete my current projects and provide handover documentation before I leave. I will not be able to look at any additional work that (name coworkers) may choose to dump onto me before I leave. I'm afraid those ...

Do you have another job lined up?  I hope you do. Either way, phone it in.

I hear COVID is bad where you live, OP.

Call in sick?

They terminated you. Don’t go above and beyond. Do the bare minimum and look for a new job as much as you can.

When I was working my 2 week notice I just went in everyday and went right to the break room to watch tv. Everytime they tried to give me something to do I just told them after consulting with God he advised me to stay here and pray. After 2 days they just gave up and left me ...

>Any ideas on how to make this situation less convenient for the people trying to offload their work onto me? Tell you are working on it. Keep dragging it out until your last day. Then leave without doing any of it .

Just don't do it. What are they going to do? They've already fired you.

I would go in there office space style sit at your desk with Cheetos spread out on top of the TPS Reports whilst playing Tetris on the computer.

Use up your sick time

Like others have said you've already been fired. Why stress yourself out. Do the bare minimum and get out.

Before I decide to leave a company, I always make sure to use up all of my sick leave. Once I use it all up, I give my 2 week notice. Take sick leave... it's flu season!

Work very very slowly. Send a bunch of questions for each project back to the people who offloaded them onto you on Friday. Send them earnestly. "I was working on xyz, but in order to move forward/I'm hitting a roadblock on this, can you advise?" Then on Monday, say thanks for...

It’s called, Quiet quitting

Work your 8 hours and nothing more. If anything doesn't get done in that time, it's not your problem.

Fuck them! You’re being let go. Update that resume, and chill out

You can leave right now.Them doing this means you have no commitment for a respectful " leaving notice." They lost that

Do the work poorly.

Do what you can, at the pace that you normally would, until your last day. No more, no less. If you‘really able to work extra parts in, document the time spent. Outline a rough draft (with specifics only regarding) the estimated time and resources that the addition...

Just turn your shit in and walk away. Go to the beach or something. They've made it clear what they want.

Walk out, you have already been terminated why do anything else for them?

Work at your own pace, let them know you will get to it if and when you can and then just leave on your last day and don’t look back. Don’t bend over backwards fixing their created emergency. Also let them have it if you have an exit interview. Like really read them the riot a...

Read Melvilles “Bartleby the Scrivener” and repeat the following words. “I prefer not to.”

update resume, work on next interview and prepare handover documents. For new works, just say politically you’ll try your best while preparing handover assets otherwise they might not get things they need once you gone. If they were unhappy they might let you go sooner but s...

You already got fired, this is your time to act however you want, within reason of course.

Have ChatGPT do all the assignments, but don't look them over or hand them in. They'll all be crap, but look convincing from a distance. Just keep them up in your screen and rotate through them so you can say you're "working on them". Submit them at the last minute. Peace off ...

Do the bare minimum, and do it slowly. Also, isn’t a nasty virus going around? I think you caught it and need to call in sick for a few days. And a day or two off to go on job interviews.

Same thing happened to me. I was terminated before Christmas but my last day was first week of February. I would lose my severance if I didn't work out that full duration. Work was dumped on me and they also started micro-managing like crazy. My mental health is already not ...

I would work on the easiest tasks. Then you can say you finished several things and still only had to apply minimal effort.

You have been fired. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. They can’t fire you twice without rehiring you in between.

Surf internet all day. Not your problem.

Sounds like you’ve just found your first freelance client!

One time I was mistreated by a coworker and my employer wouldn't do jackshit, while begging me not to quit. There wasn't much to my actual job, so I spent most of my time helping another team which worked out great for everyone. Well, the dude that mistreated me was a part of ...

Dont do the work. Lol

You're leaving. Just don't do the extra work. Why do you need help figuring this out?

Perfect time to do absolutely nothing or work on your own personal projects. Look busy while not doing any of the work they trying to put on you and let the clock run. Start moving your stuff out now so if you wake up one morning before the 23rd and decide “fuck them and that ...

Do the regular amount of work you are used to without trying to hard, and do the stuff you like, not the stuff you don’t. If those people who want to dump all their crap on you think they can get away with it, they’ve got another thing coming.

Do what you can, and remind management that your last day is 23rd, so they’d better get cracking on your replacement

Just don’t do it. 🤷‍♀️

Complete the tasks in crayon. Spell words wtht th vwls. Use elipses.... like they were...the best... thing... ever. Dont Use any punctuation until the last period at the end of the docuemnt. Use nick names instead of real names. Be creative. Mr Sparkel Kitty, Ms Ham Bone, ...

They've already terminated you, why would you do anything more for them?

I had the same experience at a former company. Immediately after being fired, I communicated to my manager exactly what I would be completing by my end date. And, I would not be taking on any additional work or projects. I just keep repeating it, anytime work was dumped on...

Do a very bad job that will take many hours to fix.

Of you’re terminated while are you still working?

I literally would just never show up again. Didn’t they fire u? Lmao

As little as possible

Be ultra helpful; go to your boss and say you don't want to leave in bad terms, so what single project should you focus on in your remaining time?

Well, you could keep working and just do everything almost right. But make any errors something they'd have to start over to correct

You are already leaving what can they do. I say do your work bare minimum to not get fired early on your last day use the fire from the bridge you're burning light the way to something better

I would let them know as there is not a plan in place to backfill you, they should do the work and you review it. (Review as you see fit)

Have you ever watched *Office Space*? Time to talk with The Bobs.

Just don’t finish any of it, say you will handle it, then don’t,,,,, let them dig their own graves

Fuck them. Why would you try to make it less convenient for them and they're dumping work on you? If anything it would piss me off to the point that I wouldn't work on their projects and wouldn't tell them I ignored them just to leave them in the lurch

So if they give you 20 things and you only have time to do 10 things, you have a choice. 1. Pick 10 things and do them. 2. Do half of all 20 things.

Make nice until your time is up. Get all the work to almost complete. Then go independent contractor on them. $1500 an hour with a 30 hour minimum.

Just slow down! If they complain, tell them you’re only being very careful with your work!

Yo those ppl are mad stupid. Work very very slow. They're terminating you anyways, who cares

Spend time asking the coworkers to explain part of their job, they want you to do. Send an email back confirming everything, just type slowly. Slow down your work speed.

"Any ideas on how to make this situation less convenient for the people trying to offload their work onto me?" How about you *leave them all of that work dumped onto you as a parting gift*? Were I in your shoes, I would come to work and for every day that remains, spend as mu...

Ummm do you really need to be there? Just stop being the flunky you got terminated do as little as you want. Or just collect your check from HR and say you start your new job tomorrow

Call in sick

Dont do the work

Call in sick.

You got terminated - in advance? We're you a contract or temp?

No, I'm wrapping up and don't have capacity to take on extra work. You have no incentive to try.

Use PTO. Work slow. Pause to update everyone. This should be done in person and online. Ask for feedback. Then update everyone with the feedback and how you plan to incorporate it. If unable to, explain why not.

Just quit. If you really need these last days, don't do any work.

Why do any of it? They canned you. Just wonder around and get paid. Eat your coworkers lunches

Sick leave

I'm surprised they let you stay in the building. Every place I've ever worked at when they terminate somebody, they escort them at the building immediately. Specifically so don't have to worry about intentionally bad work, or sabotage, or being disruptive. Doing intentionall...

Just sketch out some quick ideas for the work. Spend the rest if your time on you. Update uour resume, get it out there, take interviews. You can do remote video interviews on your phone.

If you gave em two weeks notice they’d tell you to fuck off. Do the same. Or spend their time trying different stuff. You know experimenting.

"Yeah boss, of course ill have all that work done by the time I leave "

I would work at half my usual pace and yes them to death for everything they say. You have nothing to lose, let them talk.

Your answer to all new requests is, " that is not only outside of the scope of my position, I have no bandwidth for it from now until my final day."

This is where you cheerfully "wilco" everyone while working on landing another job. Smile, be cheerful, say Oh of course then do whatever you want. And then offer a sheepish, "Gee, couldn't get that done with all the new stuff coming in, I'll get to it tomorrow, promise." Then...

It’s called Slacking.

No replacement? Sounds like there's an opportunity there.

Explain to the management that as the replacement is no longer in place, you will need to teach them how to do the bare minimum for the position so they can cover the absence, as is their responsibility. Those side projects will drop right off like a leper's digit.

Make lots of errors, claim stress, and harassment causing it. Then they will have so much mess to clean up after you leave. Or ...write a letter to the owner of the company. Explain in detail what's going on in their work place and that the current culture is hurting ov...

Ask for meetings to review the brief and requirements. If there is no brief ask for a meeting to complete a brief. Spend time on briefs instead of whatever it is they want you to do.

How much leave do you have? Bc I would have long ass “medical appointments” every day for the next week.

Slow quit. Do as little as you can. Their emergencies aren’t even your concern.

You come in at your allotted time. You leave at your allotted time. You do work between those times. You leave on March 23. It is no longer your problem.

You should make a concept of a plan. Take a long time to do it.

Negotiate a consulting contract. 1. Estimate for how long all the extra work should take. Add 50% to that. 2. Decide on a reasonable hourly rate for your work. It should be more than your hourly rate, because you’ll be working without receiving company benefits. 3. Appro...

How half-assed can you make the work?

If it involves typing type very slow 😂 and maybe watch YouTube or tik tok

Take all your sick days now, otherwise they’ll be wasted

See gp. Go on stress leave.

Push everything to the 22nd and 23rd. Call in sick your last couple of days.

Call in sick.

Lol sounds like you got Covid, and best stay home. I’d hate for people to get sick.

Accept it all but do very little of it. You can say you're working on it.

Dont do it.

Go to the doctor and get a sick note.
