So I put in my 2 Week Notice, Now what?

Question

Ok,
So I put in my two week notice this morning and am feeling really great about the feedback. Everyone is very supportive and wished me luck. But now I'm like, "What do I do for 2 weeks.....?" No one really has any more expectations of me and my boss (I feel) is pretty much gonna ignore me till I leave next week. And having been a Supervisor, the employees that know, really don't care to bring their problems to me anymore.

It's weird....So I guess I sit in the back office and act important for 8 hours...

What do you think?
Have you ever been in this situation before?

Thanks for any reassurance....

Thanks for all your great Answers!
I will do just that and take it easy....

Answer 1

Continue to do your job. Gradually wrap up any unfinished business. If you have significant unused time in your workday, tackle a project that you have wanted to complete, but didn't have time for with a heavier work load. Make it a point to leave the position and the department better than you found them. Don't burn any bridges. Oh, and get a reference letter before you leave, too.

Answer 2

Make sure you leave well. Be to work on time, do your work, don't take a longer than usually lunch break, don't leave early, etc. No matter how good of an employee you are if you leave poorly that is what your co-workers and supervisors (references!) will remember. If there is not alot for you to do, just make sure you complete all projects that you can complete or assign them to someone else as to not "screw" your department on the way out.

Answer 3

Yes the ignoring of the staff and your boss is a bad feeling. You won't be able to do anything about that, just bite the bullet and go with the flow. Come to work, do your thing stay calm it's only a few days left. Good luck.

Answer 4

Go to work, do you job and make provisions for your departure.

There is most likely one area that you have handled, in this case you will either want to pass on your files, method or any pertinent information to the person who will be raking over your post.

Making the transition as seamless as possibly will only lead to a positive recommendation and show that even thought you panned to discontinue employment all necessary steps were taken to ensure the company would be fully prepared.

Answer 5

Put a 2 week notice when you get another job. Untill then, just hang tight with the commute. I was in the same situation (with the drive) and told my boss that I wanted to start working from home & they went for it! Good Luck!

Answer 6

If thats the way they want to act around you for your last two weeks then let them. You'll be at a new job right away anyways, with new people. Sit back and relax it will all work out in the end!!

Answer 7

Now is the time to clear up anything that you've been working on. Delegate anything that will need follow up after you are gone. Leave your desk clean and work free. Show management that you have been and still are a professional.

Answer 8

Clean out files, figure out what's yours that you are going to take with you and organize the rest. Write up procedures for anything that will help your successor. If someone is appointed to take over your job when you leave, meet with them and answer any questions they have.

Answer 9

It is very important that you don't shrug any responsibilty at this point. I know you have given your notice, but you really don't want to burn bridges. Your employees need to be able to bring situations to you up untill your last day. This is your repuation at stake, dont tranish it!!

Good Luck
