Leaving a job is a process. You decide you're going, you give your notice, and then you have an awkward amount of time where you're still there, but everyone knows you're leaving. It's like a dead man walking period. You're probably not putting in as much effort as you once did, because you know you don't have to. Your employer might be scrambling to fill your place, but there's usually not much you can do about it. You just sit around waiting for the time to pass.
Unless your boss decides this might be a good time for you to do their dirty work. That's what happened to one employee during their leaving period, who was inexplicably asked to help with some pretty unsavory tasks. But the question remains, did they have to help them, or did it not matter? Read on for the story, and decide how you feel about it.
