Last day before mat leave - AIBU to do nothing?

It's 2pm. It's my last day before mat leave. I've done all my handover meetings. I have documented everything. I have no emails. I am working from home (as is everyone else).

AIBU to give up and watch TV for the rest of the day? 😄

Definitely! Enjoy and wish you all the best x

I was going to say can you wander, chat and pack everything up but as you're WFH, feel free! I'd probably keep half an eye on email just in case though...

What else would you do anyway?

CastleTower · 06/01/2023 14:16

Poised ready to reply to email but I think no one needs me anymore! 😂

I set my out of office on at about 2 pm on my last day in the office. I had the fear some major emergcy would arrive before I finished with out of office I had the perfect not my problem.

Although I also had some tasks to finish so couldn't completely dissappear. If there's nothing left to do just chill.

Absolutely, chill out, enjoy it and congrats, you've made it! Have you got a bit of time to yourself before you're due?

100%

I’m in the same position. Trying to look like I’m willing to work and really an afternoon nap would be lovely

@SnackyOnassis 37 weeks today, so hoping for a bit of a break!

@PeanutButterFalcon Congrats! Look willing but maybe get yourself a big bar of chocolate?

I've had a couple of my team go off on mat leave this year and set my quick goodbye " meetings with them for lunchtime on their last day in the hope they would do this! A well deserved reward for being organised and getting all the handover sorted in my opinion

Eek, good luck! Take it easy, enjoy the countdown, sleep A LOT.

I finished at the same point as you but baby decided to bring the party two days later, I so regret not getting to veg on the couch eating bonbons for three weeks! I hope yours hangs on in there!

I can't imagine anyone is expecting anything else from you!! Enjoy
