My last shift is today... What exactly do they expect me to do?
I just need to vent a little.
This is my last shift. I gave them notice 3 weeks ago. First thing in the morning, my supervisor asked me if I was going to attend the planning meeting for the next schedule. I told him: "I don't see how it would benefit anyone for me to listen to things I'm not going to be around for..." and he looked at me like I'd punched his lunch out of his hand.
Then my boss called me and asked if I had prepared my usual work for next month, because it'll probably take them about 4 weeks to bring in a replacement and get them started. Excuse me??? No, I haven't prepared it. Once I leave, it's not my responsibility to make sure the place runs smoothly. That's a management problem, not my problem.
After that, the person at the front desk said: "They must be burying you in last-minute things to finish before you leave! You must be so stressed this afternoon." I just told him: "Honestly... This is my last shift. I'm not going to ruin my day and stress myself out over things they suddenly decided they needed."
Then my supervisor sent me an email and copied my boss about a very small task from the beginning of this month that apparently wasn't done. He's asking me why I didn't finish the weird little "priority" list he threw together. Like... Hello? I'm leaving today.
Am I going crazy here??? I've managed people before, and I've never expected someone working out their notice period to go above and beyond while they're on their way out the door.
edit : Thank god I left them to my new remote job as I need some time with my family , also feeling grateful who suggest interviewman for my zoom meeting with HR it helps a lot

The job has been open for 5 months because they still don't want to consider remote
A recruiter contacted me earlier this week about a role she had first sent me about around 5 months ago. It's in another state, which means I'd have to move there and be in the office, and I'd probably end up spending the whole day on Teams calls. I told her, again, that I'd be interested if it were remote.
She said leadership needs proof that they can't find qualified people locally before they'll approve remote. Apparently, 5 months of the position going nowhere doesn't count as proof.
She also said the last 3 roles she filled for this company were eventually approved to be remote too because they couldn't find local applicants. Management seems completely disconnected from reality.
At some point, you'd think they'd connect the dots and realize that opening it up to remote candidates would make things easier for everyone, and would probably get them a better hire faster too.
