Handing in your notice

Hudson Yard

I handed in my notice recently, it's very satisfying, all the stresses if projects and deliverables gone until the new job. I'm still putting in some effort, I wouldn't take the piss.

How much effort do you put in after handing in your notice?

As much as possible.

If you do a couple of years good work it will all be undone in the minds of people if you leave the handover in a jocker to the next person. People remember that!

Yer Da sells Avon

Any time I handed in my notice, it felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders and I suddenly started really enjoying the job.

I presume references from the job your leaving have been sorted:)

References don't matter these days, but I clearly said I don't take the piss. Effort will be reduced but my tasks are still taken care of.

Really? I haven’t changed job in 14 years, internal promotions, so I’m probably out of touch. They were all the rage in 2005:D

I'm working out a 12 (!) week notice. I am so bored. They've stopped giving me work and I'm drinking coffee like it's going out of fashion. Dying to leave

These days it's an email to the company's HR department to confirm job title and dates worked in the company.

Yiz are going to need to put in your made up job titles when your posting

Both of you are lucky beyond belief. After the 4th consecutive 11 hour day of the 3rd consecutive 6 day week of mind splitting screen staring and 16 years of the same thing and the biggest trunchbull boss imaginable I can think of little else that would make me happier than handing my notice in and seeing that chink of light way down that tunnel.

Sorry to bring the mood down just.... yeah

Especially when that light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train on it's way to hit you right in the sack.

Good luck with that... It's an email or phone call to people you have in common on LinkedIn or otherwise.. So they can get it all warts and all

Yeah...the trunchbull driving it. She's the kind of person that would make a train run by just looking at it....so it could get away from her.

I was "let go" after 18/19 years. 'Zero' would be the honest answer. Place went bust and folded 5-6 weeks later.

Sounds like the dream I wake up from every morning. Redundancy?

The minimum as prescribed by law. 70 hour weeks, working through migraines, flu, coming in out of hours all forgotten. Mind you I expected nothing better - the place was like a monarchy, in that it was your relationship with board members that dictated your treatment and wage. The two who rewarded my efforts were no longer with us by the end.

Wtf is a 'deliverable'? Management speak BS.

I thought he was genuine.
Too gullible for my own good.

Work sucks. You throw ten years at something thinking there's a better life just that couple of years away if you stick with it and go above and beyond.

At least you got the redundancy and complete relief of stress as some kind of reward.

The Tetrarch

The company where I worked was described to me as a supertanker, moving in one direction, and your efforts will not change the direction in the slightest.
It hit the rocks after I left (14 months "notice").

In terms of IT a deliverable would constitute the production release for a specific project or product.

Say the current code is version 5.0.

There are a number of bugs, issues and change requests being tracked since the last 4.9 release.

So for 2019, the steering committee decide that there is sufficient issues that need to be fixed and a portion of the IT budget is set for a 'deliverable' of a 5.1 production release incorporating the most pertinent fixes with a set date that everyone then works towards. The business, the testers, the developers, the project managers etc.

Staff then go around talking about '5 point 1' for months until it is eventually deployed.

Then how about finding a new job

facehugger99

I worked for 6 years in a job I really hated during the recession - because bills, mortgage, kids etc.

When I handed in my resignation I was walking on air for the next couple of weeks.

Handover was brilliant - telling some poor fcuker that all the sh;t I'd been dealing with for the last 6 years were now his problem.

biko

I don't bother with notices, I just go postal.

It just means the stuff that is to be done.

Ordinary guy: "So this yoke that needs to be done has to be ready by the 19th?"

Management bull****ter: "Yes, the deliverable."

Ordinary guy: "Sorry I didn't catch that. What is deliverable?"

Management bull****ter: "Milestone. Offline. Feedback. You wouldn't understand."

Easier said than done... Mortgage etc ... Plus I'm in the horrible situation of hating the type of job too so moving company and doing the same thing somewhere else isn't really appealing. Granted, the trunchbull wouldn't be there but still...

I'd give anything to go back to college and just completely change direction. If only I had the dough

Feck notices. Jobs will be quick to send you down the road without notice if need be.

But look, I get it, we all have different scenarios. Someone who's been in a place for years and wants that great reference is going to jump through hoops and give appropriate notice.

On the flip side someone who is done and hates the job isnt going to give a bollocks so why give any notice. They ain't going back.

Do what you want I say.
Some people even take a few weeks sick off thus allowing them to start the new job and collect pay from both for a short time. That's life.
