If you really can't stretch your departure date, offering telecomute
help will take some of the sting out of your resignation. You might
also offer to post advertisements on relevant lists (e.g. TECHWR-L,
TechComm, etc.), with replies going wherever the company wishes
(preferably the other TW since [s]he should know what is needed and
you will be elsewhere).

hiring anyone will take longer than 2 weeks, has anyone had an success
with giving 2 weeks notice and offering to "help out" (by
telecommuting) with work in progress until other staff can pick up the
excess?
