But of course people respond differently to an impending disaster that happens by complete accident after negligent planning, and an impending disaster that happens because you intentionally did nothing to avoid it after negligent planning. | |

Suddenly, the who-knows-what that you were working on needs to be continued and no one knows how it works. When I left my previous job, I updated documentation for things I made and talked with my colleagues to make sure they understood how it worked. We also just took an extended lunch break on my last day, so there doesn't need to be any extravagant exit. Your last day could just be "any other questions for me? No? So long and thanks for all the fish" and everyone moves on. | |
