I gave me resignation, although short, and my boss wants me to document everything I do. What should I do?

Question

I recently landed a new job. Found out on Tuesday and they wanted me to start the following Monday. I said I couldn't leave that quick and said I would like to give some notice. I handed in my resignation letter Friday, with a last day of the following Wednesday. so basically 4 days notice. My boss emailed me this morning and asked that I "outline" and "document" everything I do and how I do it. This is basically reassuring why I am leaving my position, because my boss doesn't know what I do or how I do it. AND he wants to sit with me all afternoon tomorrow so I can walk him thru what and how I do my job.

My question is, how bad would it be if I just didn't go back. The president is already being a d&^k to me about leaving and I just feel no reason to stick it out, even though it is two more days. I already have another job.

Answer 1

You would be surprised how often your paths may cross in your career. Dignity and leaving with a great feeling on both sides may pay a hundred fold on down the line.........do it.............

Answer 2

It's two extra day to get paid. stick it out. Doesn't matter how you are being treated. You are not going to be there much longer. But as a company employee, it is best you teach them the tools of how your job is done. They still have to keep the company going. Granted it is their fault for not knowing the detail of your position. However, that is the main reason why there is the standard "Two weeks notice" It gives the company time to look for replacement as well as learn what you are working on or how you do your work so that they are not running around with their heads chopped off.



Do it because it's the right thing to do. It's only two more days. It'll be over quick.

Answer 3

Assuming you have a poor relationship: -PRACTICE saying "I am providing two weeks notice." -Say that as you provide your letter of resignation - the letter should clarify what would be your last day. - Walk out of the room after handing to your boss.

Answer 4
