Last Day of Work
Today is my last day at my job. I start my new job on Monday.
In order for my job to be done right, I need to stay after work for an extra hour to an hour and a half. Or I could just blow the place off.Edit: I worked 3 and a half hours over.
Would you stay after on your last day of work?

No way.
Blow that joint.
If you lived closer I could pop out of a cake naked for you!
Last time I had a last day of work I re-programmed the intercom to play Wu-Tang.
AIN’T NUTTIN’ TO FUCK WIT
stay. always go out in style.
No. Slavery was outlawed over 140 years ago.
You are like Ebay. People watch for new post from you and then bid a comment. They always want to be on the top. I am your number one fan! [[ me? no, not really. I don't think I EVER got to the top.]
Yeah, just to say I ended things on a good note. “Kept working until the end.” Lol
Take this job and shove it. You ain’t workin there no more.
One other question out of curiosity, do you put on your resume that you’re TheTheologiansCafe?
yeah, stay til the job is done. It’s only 90 minutes. I too am working my last hour of work tonite, and starting a new job on Monday! I wish ya luck and hope you’re looking forward to the change! Same kinda work or something different?
No, I took my time before I was retired. I was still really off then, so I was like still running into things and such. I ate a bunch of fried chicken and stuff.
I’d stay and finish the job. If you blow it off, it might be difficult getting a good recommendation from them in the future.
Stay. You might need that place for a reference someday.
Pfft, I’d have called in if it was my last day.
i WOULD stay because it’s not about the job, it’s about what kind of character do i have.
Hell no! I sure didn’t on my last one. And technically I’m still employed by them, and I don’t know how the hell that happened when I told them I quit!
Good question! This actually happened to me years and years ago when I worked for Autozone. I was leaving because I wasn’t getting hours, and so to spite me my boss schedule me for 11 hours on my last day (a normal shift was 5-6 in my department). I didn’t stay, 1) because I hate that job, and 2) because the manager wasn’t there, so I told em since I was quitting anyways, that I was just going to leave.
Different circumstances, I’m sure though.
@k8tthelate - I agree with you.
I don’t know. I’m feeling mean today. Normally I’d finish the job but today I don’t know.
Depends on your work ethic.
Always do your best.
Well…I want my former boss to put in a good word for me.
First off, I would’ve made sure my work was caught up and my personal belongings already packed so I could leave on time. (Not that you didn’t or wouldn’t.) If there was already somebody to take my place, I would make sure they could take over from where I left off. If not, I would at least ensure somebody trust worthy knew what was going on with anything left unfinished. Regardless, I personally will leave on a good note.
Yes, I am someone that likes to get a job completely done. I like the sense of accomplishment.
No.
Yeah, assuming that I’d get paid for my time.
I think it depends on the job. If you’ve enjoyed your time there then what’s the harm in staying on a bit extra just to do things right.
It’s always right to do the right thing. You stay. But you take a couple of weeks off before the new job (what were you thinking?)
I would because you never know when you’ll need a reference. And if you leave this new job, they will call your former employer and while they can’t say anything specific, it’s always good to leave on the best terms. I am a firm believer that you shouldn’t burn bridges with employers because you never know when you’ll run into them in the future.
I’ve always stayed and worked my last shift at all my jobs. Most of them I enjoyed working at anyways. Except for my first job ever, I should have just quit one day without a notice. I’m not like that though. I think it really depends on you; whether or not you liked your job and whether or not you care about the references.
@Aslans_daughter - ditto
yep, Id do what I needed to do out of respect for myself. I had a job that I was let go from because it was outsourced. I stayed and left that job so the transfer went smooth and no harm to the company. Foolish you say? A year later the owner of the company got me a better job because he appreciated how I left. And, to this day I have a good relationship with the family and they would do almost anything for me. Thats worth an extra hour of OT on your last day.
Nope. Whatever my end time is, I’m GONE!!
Good luck on your new job!!!! ::hug::
I would. The job has to be done right.
I’d mess with their stuff and THEN leave. Also, telling the boss that they can “SUKKA MAH BAHWLS.”
Why not? If you are going to do something, might as well do it right, or it ain’t worth doing!
Maybe.
Missed ya studybuddy.
A new phase of your life starts! Good luck!
yeah i did
If it was reasonable, yes. Not pulling an all nighter though.
I would not stay after. Unless I really needed the recommendation.
yay!!!! congrat
I left early
No thanks.
depends if I liked it there and how well I liked my boss.
I would if I had really enjoyed my job there and was moving toward something better (salary, position, etc). I would want to get everything ready for the person who was going to fill my spot to get a good start.
Always finish strong. Last thing you want to do is burn bridges.
bust outta that joint
Not really. Not anymore. I did that at my last last job.
I guess it would depend on my standing with the place. If I left under good pretenses and was cool with the people/work I was involved in I would likely be fine with that, but if it were opposite that, hell no. It’s your last day, they know you’re done and to make you work longer is like a smack across the face rather than a hand shake and a fare thee well.
I’d stay after and finish the job right.
Good luck at your new job!
Depends if I liked my job to begin with && my boss. If I didn’t like it at all, I wouldn’t stay.
If I did like my job, I would stay to end on a good note.
Depends on if I had anything that needed to be done… I don’t like leaving a mess for the next person, however I am rarely behind on my work, so… The last job that was really clear-cut on my end day, I left early on my last day. It was a holiday and the place was dead. I could have stayed and let the other girl go home since the boss gave me first option, but she was a cunt dragon. Forget her! I was gettin’ me some BBQ!
Lol! Some of your comments are just funny! Aw man, go w/ your gut!
Has this companty been good to you? Them maybe stay the hours. BUT, is it just a crummy hole to work? Then, maybe leave? Lol
ps. Excited for new things ahead for you!:) Bless you.
I would work until I was scheduled and clean up my station after my shift was done. That would be that.
happy last day of work!
that’s cool you have your next job lined up right there for ya!
Don’t want to leave my team hanging (as much as possible)…since it’s going to be hard for my team until they fill the void, I would want to make it as easy as transition as possible for them
One of my jobs I would’ve, the other I would’ve cut off a limb before I stayed over. But both those jobs I was 16-18 so it’s a little different probably.
Yes, mainly because the idea of unfinished/sloppy work awakens my supressed OCD.
Plus, it never hurts to leave things on a good note.
Yes, I’d do the same.
Yes I would.
At my last job, I worked the equivalent of a week’s overtime without pay and did it by choice. I was working with foster kids – some of whom I’d worked with for several years. Considering all the upheaval and instability they had experienced, it didn’t seem right to just leave without a proper goodbye.
