I've got a few days left in my contract job, but I still have a bit left to do. It'll be interesting to see how much I get done.

I probably should be busting my arse to close accounts for them because they agreed to pay me out my vacation that just started over. I just cant seem to get that last bit of motivation to finish strong..

Only read the first page -
Some solid advice - Get your shite together and put in MORE work than you did before.
You really have no clue what's in store for the future. Someone in your office, a boss, a coworker, anyone could suddenly be needed in the future. Wouldn't it be great for them to remember you as the guy that busted his arse to HELP the company as opposed to being the guy that "got his" and quit working during his last two weeks?

I work in construction and the times that I have given notice they are just as likely to tell you to get your stuff right then.

All you can really do is try to do enough work to make life a little easier for whatever poor SOB inherits your work when you leave.

I was a really productive employee, and now I do next to nothing. Is it possible to stay motivated when you know you are on your way out?
If given the chance, I bust my arse the last two weeks. It's an easy way to get a good recommendation or contact for your resume.

I worked until the end of my last day. Not as much on principle as I was working on a client I enjoyed and wanted to wrap them up before going. But I also didn't want to pass a ton of incomplete work off.

Starting new job next Monday. Gave notice last Tuesday.. I searched the internet all day for a week.. Told them this Tuesday I wasn't coming back. I wish they would have told me to leave when I gave notice. They didn't give me anything to do and I felt like I was wasting their time and mine. My boss understood. I felt like it was last week of senior year of hs. Senioritis and I didn't give a crap about work.

Gave my one and only 2 week notice before moving back to LA 3 years or so ago. Stayed in LA for about 6 months. My replacement wasn't working out here in Tampa, so I got my job back plus a little raise. 2 years later here I am, planning my return to LA and hoping for a job in Baton Rouge later this year!
But point is, never burned the bridge and it paid off when I needed it to.

Only winners think this way.

Depends on whether you need their reccomendation or not.
If not, just milk it. If so, keep it going...duece on the clock, surf the web, order some cool desk supplies.

Also - it seems like more and more companies now just tell a person to take the next two weeks off anyway, especially if you're hourly. Seems like the best choice for all involved.

Are you suggesting that one take a shite while at work? Are you some kind of sociopath? That's crossing the line.

No, because you are no longer there. I prefer not accepting 2 wks. notices but letting them walk.

The last day of my 2 week notice was last Friday. It was business as usual up until about Wednesday of last week. I had wraped up everything by Wednesday and since they knew I was leaving, they didn't give me any new work for the last 2 days. Continue working as though you're not leaving though. You gotta remember that they're still paying you.
