I plan on leaving my employer for a new job with a two week notice, but a coworker has a vacation planned two weeks after I leave and there is no one else to provide cover. I would think asking to delay my start date with my new employer by a week would be reasonable, but two weeks might not be agreeable.

I don't want to cause any friction with my new employer, but I also don't want to leave on bad terms with my current employer. Will I be ineligible for rehire if I were to leave before my coworker takes off for vacation?

A job I applied for is asking me to submit a work sample, but I no longer have access to any documents from past employers.

My only option seems to be to recreate a document myself, which I am able to do. Is this how most people approach such a request?

I assume it would not be necessary to reveal that it isn't the actual document unless prompted nor would they be able to tell.

There is also a possibility a writing sample might be requested if I advance to the next round, but again I have no samples in possession.
