Just as a follow-up a week later:
For all you managers out there, when someone gives you two weeks' notice, it's best to get them to clean up whatever they can within a day and then walk them out of the office. Since it was announced I was leaving, I have been beset by co-workers who just want to biatch about this place. Just by chatting about my leaving, I feel like I'm rubbing their faces in it (although not my intention). So me still being here can't be good for morale.
As well, my caring about what goes on here has dropped dramatically. I'm certainly not as productive as I used to be. 80%+ of my thought process here is the vacation I'm taking the day after I leave here.
In summary, I'm completely slacking and I'm depressing the people who'll be left here. It seems like a no-brainer that once someone resigns, he/she should be walked out, no?
(However, I will not be doing the standard "leaving employee fills his pockets with office supplies" trick.)
