Startup Employee Assigned Tasks on Last Day and Asked to Extend Support Post-Exit
An employee at a small remote startup shared on Reddit that their manager assigned multiple tasks on their last working day, leading to uncertainty about expectations after their official exit. The startup had only four employees and no HR department, with no replacement hired. The manager later requested the employee to assist for an additional 10 days, promising minor tasks, which the employee felt pressured to accept. The situation sparked online discussions about workplace boundaries and startup culture.
