I usually work harder during that period than any time before, sprinting to finish every project I started while documenting everything and training my peers. At one job I pulled an all-nighter on my second to last day finishing up a project.
This industry is small and I want to leave a good last impression.

- nickff 5y ago>"This industry is small and I want to leave a good last impression." This leaves a great impression on your manager(s) and co-workers, the latter of which is often more important (thought people neglect it).
- PeterisP 5y agoIMHO it's quite important in the long run - I have often seen people get jobs or sales or consulting projects in large part based on referrals or reputation from peers they have worked with 10 or 15 years ago. The guy or gal who's your junior hire today may well be a purchasing manager or tech lead somewhere interesting in a decade or two.
- giantg2 5y agoI actually tend to respect my coworkers more than my managers. I thinks that's because the majority of my managers stay for only a short time (4 in the past 2 years) and sometimes are clearly manipulative or DGAF about the employees. I've amassed a high reputation at my organization. Except for the last 2 years on my current team. It hasn't helped me. There have been some opportunities for backroom deals/promotions, but I feel those are unethical. Edit: why downvote?
- skeeter2020 5y agoThe relationships always last longer than the job, so this is alaways good advice. Plus, it's fixed term so I'd argue it IS a sprint, not a marathon at this stage. Good advice to focus on documentation and wrapping; don't start anything new.
