There's something I can really respect about that, if that is the case. Imagine you hate working for your company, but you're still going out, giving positive interviews, and doing your job well.

I know a lot of folks (almost certainly myself included) who struggle to not make it obvious when they loathe coming to work in the morning.

One of my jobs, I was interviewing candidates on my last week. It was all fine, until the candidate asked "Why do you like to work on this team?" ... luckily we were at the end of time, so I could duck the question.
That's insane that they had you doing interviews when they knew you were leaving.
Smallish team, I was good at interviews, and not disgruntled, sort of made sense? We had a quick feedback loop, so we would make our decision day of or next day.

This candidate was great, and from what I heard, she got an offer from my team and another team at the same company, but chose the other one; I probably didn't sell the position well enough?

Anyway, not the most insane thing Yahoo was doing at the time, lol.

I got put on call during my last week once. My comment was “are you sure?”
