I work in food service, 4 days a week, typically including weekends. The weekday staff in the kitchen are pretty toxic, they complain about each other when someone’s not around, constantly discuss how “slow and lazy” the (younger) weekend staff are, and the mood for the day relies entirely on the attitude of the manager. This is the main reason why I’ve reduced myself to 4 days a week.

I finally got a new job lined up, and for legal reasons I’ve been needing a new job anyway, so everyone knew I was bound to leave soon, I’ve been telling them for months. I put my notice in recently, and informed my supervisor, who then discussed it with the weekday staff and told them I was happy to go. The weekday staff instantly went on ranting about how the younger staff don’t listen, etc., as usual.

My main issue, though, is that I’m afraid they’ll start treating me especially badly knowing I’m on my way out anyway. My two weeks is contractual, so I can’t just walk out if they start verbally mistreating me, they tend to be indirect with it and the store manager probably wouldn’t be on my side either. I have an undisclosed disability so I tend to take a bit longer to close alone at the end of the day, but I try really hard to keep up with everyone before then.

Any advice for making this remaining time bearable? Should I just keep my mouth shut and do as I’m told, not giving them the reactions they want?
