Any Party Must Come to an End 🎉🔚
Every journey has an ending, and every goodbye is a step toward a new beginning. People have various reasons for resigning, and it’s a normal part of career growth. The important question is, "How were you working during your notice period?" 🌟
The Notice Period Drama 🎭
At my current company, there's a two-month notice period. So, I resigned two months ago, and now it's my final week. After over two years here, I’m feeling all kinds of emotions. Today, I'll share some insights and what I've seen regarding work attitudes after resignation.
Meet the Two Types: DA vs. BG 🤹♂️
During my time, I've noticed two types of people with distinctly different working styles after resigning. Let's call them Deadass (DA) and Bumming Guys (BG).
Deadass (DA) 💪
These folks maintain a professional attitude until the end. They meet deadlines, fix bugs, collaborate well, and transfer knowledge smoothly. They work as seriously as they did on day one.
Bumming Guys (BG) 💤
BGs, on the other hand, tend to slack off. They come to the office, hang out, and do the bare minimum. They might not even bother transferring their tasks to teammates. It’s like they’ve mentally checked out.
In More Detail 📜
DA: The Heroes 🦸♂️
- Attitude: They are diligent, responsible, and maintain their standards.
- Why they quit: Personal reasons or better opportunities.
- Work ethic: Even after resigning, they complete their tasks and assist in smooth transitions.
BG: The Slackers 🦥
- Attitude: They shift gears to minimal effort mode.
- Behaviour: They might refuse tasks, ignore responsibilities, and fail to transfer knowledge.
- Impact: Creates a burden on the team and burns bridges with colleagues.
The Good and the Bad ⚖️
DA - The Good:
- Earn respect from colleagues and bosses.
- Gain more experience and knowledge until the end.
- Feel proud of their professionalism.
- Easier transition to new jobs due to good habits.
BG - The Not So Good:
- Complete relaxation and no pressure.
- Get paid for minimal effort.
- No contribution to the team or company will be made in the final days.
DA - The Bad:
- Extra workload during the notice period.
- Risk of being overburdened by bosses or teammates seeking to extract last-minute contributions.
BG - The Bad:
- Displeased team and bosses.
- Potentially damaged professional relationships.
- Poor reputation that could affect future job prospects.
My Thoughts 🧠
DA:
- Ideal approach, but it should balance effort and rest.
- Ensure adequate time for task transfer.
- Work seriously until the last day as a sign of respect and professionalism.
BG:
- Extremely poor habit and attitude.
- Risks damaging relationships and future career prospects.
- This can lead to a loss of passion and effectiveness in work.
About Me 📝
People who work with me know I’m always happy and smiling. I believe in creating a comfortable work environment to make everything smoother. Despite my cheerful demeanour, I take my work very seriously.
I realized I was a bit of a DA in my final months. I worked hard and ensured everything was for my team before leaving. Here's what I did:
- Finished all pending tasks.
- Listed potential defects for my teammates.
- Documented and transferred all necessary knowledge.
- Kept a positive attitude and even planned farewell activities.
Conclusion 🌟
Working after resignation is a reflection of your character and professionalism. If you're paid to work, give it your best until the very end. Remember, the way you leave a company says a lot about you. Let’s contribute positively to our workplaces and society.
I hope you have a meaningful and enjoyable time at your current or next job! 😊
