Notice Period struggles.

Hey folks so I’m serving notice at one of the Unicorns, and have been put to some really high pressure work.

I’ve been a good performer untill now but in this project I’m getting to listen constant nags that I’m not performing well due to the fact that I’m serving notice.

This seems to me like scapegoating all the planning blunders on to the notice period guy. In any case wanted to know what’s the worse they can do to my relieving/exp letter, I’m pretty sure I won’t ever want to be back here so I’ve got no issues in burning bridges.

This is the perfect time to practice setting boundaries. Go to office on time, leave on time. Provide conservative estimates for tasks, don't stretch your work hours. If tasks are not well defined, ask a lot of clarifying questions. If your manager overrides your estimates for deliverables and tasks are delayed, say I told you so during retro meetings.

If tasks were not being planned properly earlier, you asking for more information will just cause the manager to give it to some other poor sod. Not your problem.

If the manager implies that you are not meeting expectations, shrug and move on. You're a notice period bitch. Not your problem.

Don't burn yourself out during notice period. Do your job, but at a sedate pace. You will have a learning curve in the new role, you're settling yourself up for failure if you jump ship burnt out.

Worst is they would curtail your notice period and say fuck off. But nothing would come on your letter .

Don't worry just do bare minimum and leave. They don't write anything in letters

In Notice Period, you are supposed to close your eyes, ears and mouth (in professional terms), and also put your hands on your sides. Gandhi’s 3 monkeys but with hands down on your sides.

Don’t burn bridges. You might not go back there but you never know when you’ll bump into someone later. Set boundaries, time to time work, casual responses. Be “the notice period” guy… 😄
