What do I need to do before leaving?

My last day is approaching at the end of this week, and I've sent my supervisor and their manager an email with my official resignation and last date of work. They've both been completely unresponsive. I'm WFH, so walking over to them and confronting them is not an option, and I've exhausted all means of confronting them virtually. I've also reached out to HR for guidance... but response times tend to vary them with them. Chances are I won't hear back from them until after my last date.

Can anyone who has gone through the resignation process, or who is familiar with it provide some guidance on what actions I need to take before leaving? I'm already planning to drop by the office and turn in my ID card and laptop... although I have no idea where to do this. Also planning to pick up a few personal items.

Thanks a lot in advance. This experience is just more confirmation, on top of everything else wrong with this company, that I am making the right decision to leave.

Make sure all of your paperwork is in order and get payroll’s email and phone number before you leave. I’m still waiting on my vacation payout 1 1/2 months later because my unused vacation was improperly/ (never?) sent. Blame myself for thinking anything would get done correctly here.

Ypu told them you quit. If they keep paying you that is on them.

If your supervisor is awol, it’s a great opportunity to make his/her boss work.
They are in your line of management and have to deal with this sh!t.
Also, good making them aware how really sh!tty supervisors behave when they have nothing to gain.
Just have the manager, VP or anyone else handle the handoff of laptop, Amex, and badge.
Ring that Valdez Bell and post a real cube pic.

Get the names of those you enjoyed working with (and maybe a few you didn't like). Years from now you will forget names but you'll have the list to help you remember.

I developed a list before retiring years ago. Its Interesting to go through the list from time-to-time to remind myself who it was that I was working with.

After 35 years you would have thought that I would have made a few long term EM friends, but that did not happen. Oh, well. Still, I have the list :))!!

Good luck to you!

The ID, laptop and your company credit card need to be returned to your supervisor. There are forms she/he needs you to sign too. Maybe a quick IM or email to remind them that this is what they get paid to do might help!

Found it!
@xmk+1cuI67kS

did a search on “do before leaving”, many lists there.

There was a post last year with a long list of all the items to do, do a quick search to find the things to do in addition to what was listed already. Second the recommendation to go empty desk right away, heard of more than one case where the badge was deactivated before person stopped by. Items from desk lost.

If you have anything at the office, go get it ASAP before your badge gets cut off, email yourself an employment verification sheet from EDA, save pdfs of the HR website about pension and 401k info. Create an independent login to Voya instead of SSO, save as many numbers as possible that you may need later.
