Work after resignation - how were you working???

Hi, friends. This week is my last week at the company and next week I will start working at the new company.


Any party is about to end up. At some point you need to go to a new place then you need to go, everyone has their own reasons to resign. It is normal to quit and switch companies. The important thing is how you worked at the company so when you left, you had nothing to regret.

Because the current company I'm working on has a notice period of 2 months, I wrote a letter to resign from 2 months ago, and this week is also my last week at this company. A lot of emotions after more than 2 years of working here, today I will share with you some thoughts from myself as well as what I've seen and feel about after resigning - how were you working?

Talk about what I saw first

I think there are 2 types of people who represent 2 different working styles after resigning, and if you're lucky (don't know if there's any luck here) to meet. Temporarily name these 2 types of people are Deadass (DA) and Bumming guys (BG).

DA: still keep a very serious working attitude, finish the task by the deadline, be careful to fix bugs, still be happy to get along with the boss and colleagues, make documents transfer tasks and knowledge for other teammates. Generally still working as seriously as the first days in the company.

BG: always try bumming around when working, giving a bad mood attitude and sometimes not cooperating anymore. He just went to the company to play for 1 or 2 months notice period and then leave, either not transfer the task he was doing for the other teammate. Generally, he doesn't care about anything or anyone else anymore.

More detail

DA: These are really good employees and are respected by many people. They quit their jobs for personal reasons or maybe they get a better opportunity at another company. But the important thing is they have a serious attitude towards the job and the company. There are a few people of this type who are more aggressive after resigning, while having to transfer the task back to a teammate, still doing the tasks they are doing without being negligent or lazy.

BG: I've worked with a person like this before. When he was still working, he still had bonuses, salary appraisal. he seems to like to take up all tasks of others, being very responsible and always consider himself as a key person. In general, for work and company, there is nothing to blame. But right after applying for resignation, this person almost changed 180 (even I was very surprised). Not only ignore the tasks but he also immediately asked the boss, "why should I do it" (WTF !!!). And from that day on, he doesn't do anything. Immigrate his things to another table, what is he working there, no one knows, doesn't transfer or does any documents to transfer tasks and knowledge to another teammate.

Let talk about good and bad for 2 types of people:

Good:

DA: always get the respect of colleagues and boss. Until the last minute still accumulated a little more experience and knowledge, though not much. Feel proud of yourself. Keep up the good habit and easy to accept new jobs.

BG: relax completely after summiting the resignation. No more pressure from boss, teammate, project, and deadline. Still going to the company to relax every day, get paid to the last day but still do nothing.

Not good:

DA: Will have to work harder than normal days because he has to do the tasks that are still going, have to transfer knowledge and data back to the teammate as well. It is very tiring and takes a lot of time. Sometimes the boss and the teammate try to milk him more because he is about to leave, so they have to squeeze any more milk from him. :))

BG: Will be displeased with some people in the team, the boss will turn to look at you with the eyes of bullets. But this guy also does not need to care anymore because when going to the new company and who knows when will meet again. It will almost lose your relationship with old colleagues because of your attitude. Continuing this behavior with other companies can create a bad reputation for yourself.

My views on:

DA: This is the right thing to do, but it is not necessary to overdo it. There should be a suitable time arrangement and recommended with task abatement and last month to have full transfer time for a teammate. For me, if the company still pays your salary to the last day for you then there is no reason you do not work seriously until the last day for the company at all. Put yourself in the managerial position of the company, what if you have your own company.

BG: This habit and attitude to work are extremely not good. Firstly, it makes you lose a good relationship with your boss and colleagues you have had during your time working at the company. Maybe you will leave and you won't meet them again, but the earth is round and who knows, right. Secondly, it will make you lose your passion and enthusiasm when you do not work well and eventually you will not work effectively anymore. Third, if your bad reputation for working attitude is well known, no one will want to work with you anymore, people will stay away from you like the coronavirus.

About me

Most people who have contacted me worked with me will found me always happy and smiling. Almost the time people find me happy and never caught my frown uncomfortable at work. However, I am not the type of BG as above.

Actually, I deliberately create a comfortable mentality when working like this so that everything is smoother, people are happier and less pressured when working with me. But actually, at work, I do it with an extremely serious attitude. Maybe in the future, I will have an article about "what is the serious attitude at work", stay tuned. ;-)

And with the last months before leaving the job, I find myself sometimes becoming a bit over DA. There is also nothing bad here or anything that affects the team. But it made me stay in the company later and have to work harder.

When I resign, I kept a serious attitude until the last day. At the same time, I always try to arrange more time to transfer work to other teammates. Here are the things I usually do after I apply the resignation:

  1. Finish all pending tasks
  2. List out possible defects in the code that I know for teammates.
  3. Making documents to transfer tasks + knowledge for a teammate, make sure that after my break will not affect the work of the team.
  4. Keep a happy attitude with everyone in the company, make an appointment to take photos or go to a farewell party if possible.


Those are my feelings and how I was working after resignation. Just a simple thought, friends, if you are paid to work, work seriously to deserve it. With a company, keep growing and pay you monthly is already not easy. If you can contribute to the growth of the company you are doing, it is also a contribution to society.

I wish you have a meaningful and happy time working at the company.
