Employee Reports Receiving Work Assignments on Last Day at Small Start-Up
A remote employee at a four-person start-up shared on Reddit that their manager assigned new tasks on their final working day, causing uncertainty about expectations after their official exit.

The company, lacking an HR department and preparing for a product launch, requested the employee's support for an additional 10 days, which the employee felt pressured to accept while planning to travel abroad.
