Leaving my Job on Wednesday..

[Conor D]

Okay, first off this isn't a 'fk my life, I'm leaving my job' thread. I'm going to University on Friday, so I've handed in my notice and I work my last shift on Wednesday.

I'm just wondering what people do when they leave a job (on good terms), just walk and say nothing, or go out for a drink etc?

It's a retail job, I've been working there since October and I'm only one of five staff so we all get on really well..

Not sure what to do though, we all went out for a meal a few weeks ago as one of the Managers is changing branch..

[TotalControl]

A meal may be a good idea. Or if you guys want, you could hit the pub after your last shift if they want to go.

You don't really need to do anything, just stay on good terms when you leave.

As above maybe go out for a few drinks or at the very least bring in some cakes on your last day for the staff room. Anything to show you've made a bit of an effort, there would be no reason then to leave on anything but good terms.

Might also put you in good stand for a job over Christmas when your home again, good luck in uni

[kenbitcher]

Go to the pub I'd say. When you get back from uni it leaves the door open for holiday work

Plus, if you have a fit colleague but you've been too scared to make a more during your time working together, you can make a drunken move on her. Can only end well

Try to have sex with the females who work there, if they're half decent.

It goes downhill from here.

Fair play. If the other thread's anything to go by.

Pretty much, where I work we open the bar until late just for staff and just have a bit of a laugh and give them a massive "sorry your leaving" card but then we have a lot more staff...and a pub!

If it is only a small amount of staff then just arrange a drink when your all mostly free, asking the boss depends on everyone else.

[mcflurry]

Some cakes if your colleagues drive, or beer if they don't

[Rocksteadyeddie]

Beer is your friend.

Do any of your collegues have a dog?

[becksW]

Take in a load of cakes/ doughnuts etc, always seems to go down well (and then poss beers after work)

[plg]

Take in some cakes.
Say a few nice words to the boss / whoever pays you.
Holiday work can be handy, and you can always turn it down.
Few pints down the pub and everyone parts on good company and you have a nice reference available for a job at Uni.

No practical jokes... (Well, you shouldn't play any. They might play some on you...)

Hit the pub. I finish my job on Saturday at 1 and there is 6 pubs on the same street that will be getting a visit.

Remember "it's not that important what the first thing you say in your job is, no one will remember it. But it's bloody important what the last thing you say is!"
So dont go tell all the managers they are x!%"*!* !

I think you'll find the answer is in the horse.
