My experience has been that if you're a technical writer,
providing a full catalog of everything that someone else
is going to have to do to complete the work you won't
have time to before you leave usually IS the best way
to make the impact of your departure felt as much as
possible.

That brings up the opposite issue; instead of employees going above and
beyond to neatly wrap things up before their departure, there are
employees who want to make the impact of their separation felt as much
as possible, and maliciously, they'll leave no clues (in the form of
neatly organized documents, code comments, etc.) for their successors.
