Working full notice period??
Resigned last week but made to work full 30 days of “official” notice period. Ideally I’d like to stop working immediately and am happy to take unpaid time off. How should I tell my firm?

Dude, this is America. You are an at will employee. They can't make you work, so just don't.
You can email HR to ask if it's something they'd consider - or a shortened period like 1-2 weeks, noting that you can transition your projects in that time.
but you signed a contract saying you'd work the notice period so I wouldn't push back if they say no either. no reason to burn a bridge over 30 days of light work. You can also ask to take your remaining PTO days if your contract allows
Unfortunately this is not light work. I am still not rolled off all my heavy lift projects despite me raising this when I told them of my resignation. Still going about with late nights and 5am calls. Would like to part ways amicably but getting difficult. This doesn’t feel normal
Sorry mate. I'd talk to HR and try to "negotiate a quicker exit".. if push comes to shove the above is correct, you don't HAVE to go to work of course but that will also kill any positive reference letter. Good news is you're getting out of there soon at minimum
That’s when you start saying “I’m trying to spin down these files” I would not work after 5 or before 9 and would just decline meetings outside of those hours.
This really depends how much you want to burn bridges. If you already have another offer lined up, you can quit now.
Either do 2 week notice, or just quit if you have another offer lined up. It would be better to take time off to destress or go on vacation

If that was your plan, why didn't you give notice 30 days earlier?
New offer only received quite recently but promptly resigned after signing and clearing all logistics
This actually happened to me when I was a junior. I made up a death in the family and HR was like okay it’s probably better to just make today your last day. Or you could say a family emergency. Or you could say you need a health break. Or literally making anything plausible up.
Wtf is wrong with all you young people on this board?
How can you go through life not understand how white lies work? It makes me so sad people don’t have even a little bit of social acumen to navigate obviously scenarios.

If you’ve already resigned I don’t get why you’re still working. Most firms appreciate the heads up but for compliance / security reasons have you turn in your laptop and any firm files same day.
