Leaving gift

[Churchill]

Cool stuff, thanks for the advice - I shall buy two kit-kats, as there are 8 people on the team. That should be sufficient.

Half a finger each, since they'll be 2 finger ones, appropriate as that's also what the company will get as I walk out of the door backwards, stopping only to wee into the ornamental fountain.

I'll just get them a box of krispy kreme

If you were any good, you wouldn't be leaving.

Just saying, like.

Leave a Tulip from Amsterdam on your bosses desk, he'll never forget you

True that, I could be enjoying the SDC life doing whatever they want for as long as their budget lasts, bashing HMRC whilst being employed with no fixed goal instead!




It's actually not too bad a gig, but project is almost finished, and I want some time off. Plus commuting to Swindon for a less than ideal rate, blergh!

Depends on the team. They were a grisly bunch at the last place but the place before that I bought them loads of goodies from Marks and Sparks. And the Project leader got a bottle of expensive perfume because she was totally brilliant. After landing the contract I developed a chronic condition which required quite a few hospital visits before I got stabilized. She gave me the time and space I needed and I made sure I delivered.

I have also been the proud recipient of: 4 bottles of champers, one hamper, a number of free lunches at rather nice places and chocolates from Hotel Chocolat and Godiva. But don't tell anyone.

Hmm perhaps we should start a 'what's your greatest haul' thread for leaving a gig...

My first job (perm) I got given a food mixer, a first aid kit and a packet of condoms.

Do you still have them?

[NibblyPig]

Not sure it counts if you're permie, cos permies usually get paid below market rate peanuts but cream their pants over getting a cake on their birthday and think they're the luckiest sods alive

I always get a couple of fruit tarts from patisserie Paul. Top stuff and goes down a treat with the client staff.

Yep, have done exactly the same myself.

Proper cakes, you can keep those Krispy Kreme things .
