Affentitten Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm moving on after 3.5 years with my current employer. Any advice for the last day here? Currently I'm: *Purging my email *Copying off about 20 GB of music onto the shared network drive so everyone can pinch what they want *Going out for lunch with the team *Going out for drinks after work *Slipped a knife into a few ribs during my exit interview Anybody got any good last day on the job stories? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luderbamsen Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Here in Denmark, we had an art critic at a newspaper poop in the editors sofa, then wipe his butt in the curtains. Though not planned, it turned out to be his last day in that job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Prawn in the curtain rod? Piss in the plant pot? Anthrax in the sugar? If you're ansy about privacy you're better getting some kind of file shredder than just deleting stuff. Won't work for your email as that's on the server but you can delete your local files. Other than that I dunno. I got escorted out of my last job. I'd worked it so that I resigned over Easter and with my holidays plus the bank holidays they owed me 2 weeks on top of my last pay cheque. Instead of paying me the 2 days bank holiday for the Easter the FIRED me and paid me off. After eight years. As I was getting escorted out I shouted "I regret NOTHING!". Here in Denmark, we had an art critic at a newspaper poop in the editors sofa, then wipe his butt in the curtains. Though not planned, it turned out to be his last day in that job. Yes. But is it art? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Jones Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 duct tape a fish or hamburger meat or whatever to the bottom of the desktop, behind the drawer. By the time it starts stinking, you will be long gone. Also, most offices have those tiled ceilings, slide a tile up, and put another one up there, in an airduct is better, but, your call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish in the ceiling is hard to beat. Alternatively, just leave as dignified as you can manage. You never know if you might have to return one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm moving on after 3.5 years with my current employer. Any advice for the last day here? At your exit interview, get a letter of recommendation. In fact, make your exit interview conditional on it, if you can. That way, they can't talk bad about you behind your back later when you put them down on the resume work history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_the_wino Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 That way, they can't talk bad about you behind your back later when you put them down on the resume work history. One would hope, alas that is not always the case. I had the pleasure of being public thrown under the bus at a shareholder's meeting as a condition of a 3 month's severance. It was the most horrifying experience of my life. I wanted to jump up and scream 'LIARS!!! You F*ED this company up, not me'. But I didn't. It was so patently obvious that neither myself nor my department were responsible for the financial mismanagement that people kept coming up to me at the shareholder's reception and offering kind words. I felt vindicated in not saying anything bad about the company, the COO (total spineless, 'Yes'-man) or the CEO (cheating, philandering sociopath). I would never work with any of those people ever again, save one person who was my mentor and is great friend still. You success elsewhere is your best revenge. May you rise above this and find that which brings you joy and that you find rewarding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 It wasn't an acrimonious departure, really. The managers I most despise are in another city. The team bought me an autographed WW1 Western Front diaries book. And two of my favourite cuties let me dress them by picking their clothes the day before. And many vodkas were had by all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well I'm an ordinary male. The busty plump one got the tight blouse with the plunging neckline and the push-up bra. The lean athletic one had the tight high-waisted skirt and heels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
