Emotional good bye

[BigTime]

Leaving a contract in Glasgow the whole team came out for a leaving drink and the guy I sat next to apologised for leaving at 7ish as he had to look after his kids. The rest were there for as long as I can remember. Different world.

Normal after work behaviour in Glasgow. They are all legless after 7 anyway

I make it quite clear when I am on a contract, that as a contractor I do not want leaving cards, presents etc..
I usually take a few people out for a pint or a meal, before I go but frankly leaving is part of being a contractor.
I hand out a few business cards and bugger off out the door without a backward glance.
I much prefer it that way.

Although my Ltd likes to purloin a stapler on the way out.

I tend to go with the flow of the team and the gig. At one team they always had some cakes or biscuits on the table to tuck in so I bought cupcakes on on my last day. Others have been less social and just left with polite handshakes. I would do whatever makes me fit in I'm case other work comes up and I am the first person they think to call. Yes doing quality work should do that but if I was a good old boy as well people remember. Basically networking. I certainly wouldn't ailienate myself and end up be just other miserable contractor to be forgotten about quickly.

Exactly what I do.... They will call me back for sure

Pray they don't while you in a gig

My best was from Eurotunnel (French side) after my first ever contract.

I can imagine many places celebrating when you walk out the door.
