Recently got a new job in my field (YAY!) and let my job of 4 years know. They were bummed but nice about it. I originally gave 2 weeks to be kind, but my wedding is next week and I’ve been completely overwhelmed. (I’m also a student in a PhD level program).
After I announced, my boss started to pile a lot of extra work on me. Basically all of the stuff that no one else does/knows how to do.
I quickly became super overwhelmed and behind. I got all of my original responsibilities done, but let him know respectfully and nicely that I would have to end today and not next week. I apologized profusely because I do truly feel bad.
As soon as this happened, I was met with hostility from coworkers. One blocked me on social media, removed me from the work chat (while I was typing a message about an update on my last day) and was so angry with me. My boss was angry and said it was my responsibility to get the extra stuff he assigned earlier this week done.
I feel awful. Is this normal? I’ve never had any issue with anyone here and have never been written up or missed deadlines.
