Laid off with a few days notice, how should I spend my last days?

After over a decade of being a top performance at my company, after multiple promotions, and after giving my company unpaid overtime, sweat, blood and tears, I was laid off among others due to losing clients (company provides third party services). I have seniority over others in the company who were not laid off, and better performance. I suspect it's because my salary is a bit higher due to my high performance and experience, though I was still underpaid. Reminder to everyone that your company is not loyal to you, even if you are loyal to them. In the end my tenure, loyalty, experience, performance and commitment meant nothing to them compared to the bottom line.

Reminder to everyone that your company is not loyal to you, even if you are loyal to them. In the end my tenure, loyalty, experience, performance and commitment meant nothing to them compared to the bottom line.

So I get a severance package, my country requires it, but I have to transition my tasks to my manager over the rest of the week. My manager who should know what all my tasks are already since they are supposed to be my backup when I am on PTO or sick but they refused, forcing me to work overtime to catch up whenever I was sick or on PTO, etc.

Any suggestions on how I can maliciously comply with this “transition” over the next few days? I can't rock the boat too much because I don't want to jeopardize my severance (being terminated with cause would cancel the severance). I have a remote work at home desk job doing administrative tasks and a lot of reporting on company metrics.

I would appreciate any suggestions/ideas.
