Navigating a Notice Period: How to Handle a Handover Without Overcommitting

Hello seniors and friends,

I am serving my notice period and am expecting a comprehensive handover list of duties from the company. I do not wish to provide a lengthy description, as it would involve me in too many tasks, especially considering the current disorganized system in place.

Additionally, I have no financial or asset obligations towards the company. Since I only work extensively in two to three specific areas, I am not in favor of including everything in the handover list as proposed by them.

Given the circumstances mentioned above, please advise on how to approach this handover situation as I am keen on avoiding this part of the process.

Regards,
Kane

Dear Kanega,

First, get in contact with your immediate superior to inform them that I will be leaving on X date. I will complete any pending tasks by that date and will not be able to take on any new assignments. If you can provide me with the name of my replacement, I can train them before my departure date.

Please put this information in writing via email and copy the heads of the department as well. This will facilitate a smoother transition and ensure an easier exit process.

Thank you.

Thanks for your advice. I'll definitely finish up the pending tasks from my end before leaving, and most probably a new person won't join until I leave, so the question of training does not arise. But if I have to give a handover to my existing colleagues, what should be included in the handover list? (please refer to my first thread).

I need more opinions on this matter.
