Why people on Notice periods start acting like dumbs?

Some companies have notice periods that seem endless and are non-negotiable! Let me share my own thrilling journey. I recently decided to resign due to a major burnout after my team and I tackled relentless workloads, often diving into weekend marathons for the past 6-7 months. I was eager to finally carve out some time for myself during the three months of my notice period. However, it feels like my managers are on a mission to keep piling on the work, sometimes pushing me to burn the midnight oil until 2:30 AM and beyond! Now, the only strategy I see for escaping this whirlwind is to gradually cut ties with the endless tasks. I can’t be alone in feeling this way—I'm sure many others have faced similar challenges!

Wut! People do this in NP? Notice period for me made no difference. I had 2 scrum calls daily and had to provide some update when I joined, I can skip one call but had join one atleast per day, so update had to be there workwise. If I skipped both scrums in one day my architect would directly ask my why I didn't attend and ask me to apply leave for that day, as there was no track of work progress that day.

The problem is companies do the same during lay offs. Just locking them out and treating them like criminals

This attitude and frustration is towards the organization and no one personally. Seems pretty justified for organizations that do not have any empathy or concern for the employees.

What's wrong in it? Ab bhi aish na kre?

It's normal, after giving the whole year time leaving family behind we work and last before appraisals one day a mail came written no longer your service is required. So you tell now

It's just that the tables turn around. Companies treat ill of the employees, don't care about their life and health but only about their targets and work. The notice period is a payback time.

Koi dudh dhula hua nhi hain..😮‍💨 Companies are literally exploiting employees by putting in 3 months of notice period. Why should he not behave the way he is now?

It is shitty and unethical. But if it was a bad workplace that led to them leaving the company I would consider it as karma as the company deserves it.

Sometimes it’s because of over pressure and overload of work before the notice period. So they are doing this to avoid the same situation.

That is common everywhere Even if u resign u don't feel like working This attitude changes due to bad management

I am currently on Notice period and I am acting like that even though, I don’t like to. On one side, as soon as I started serving, recruiters calling for interviews has increased multi-fold, and they want to have interview slots during my working hours. On another side, my manager wants me to finish more work than usual, in the coming days, along with that, giving KTs to peers. Managers don’t want to disclose me serving notice right up to the few days before LWD, and peers won’t take the KTs seriously until then. I used to help out my teammates a lot, now I’m avoiding it. My productivity is getting affected too.

🤣 It’s like they don’t even care anymore! it’s super annoying especially when the tasks start piling up

Yup, seen this a lot too. It's like some people think they can just check out and coast through, but that just creates more work for the team. At least help with knowledge transfer! 😤
