Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free.

Team is small and consists of one annoying narcissist who likes to think they're everyone's best friend, lunatic manager and two others one of whom I was replacing while they were off, so don't really know them and the other person who is pretty decent but won't come along anyway.
Will see how some internal and external negotiations go regarding new gigs, but have the get out of my regular sports evening which is on the same night.

It is really not pleasant spending an evening with someone you don't get on with.

Originally posted by norrahe View PostAm faced with a similar issue when I leave, same problem with manager and they are organising a ''team dinner'' for when I leave, as there is someone else leaving the same day.
The last thing I want is to spend the evening with said manager in some crappy restaurant of their choice.
Bad form to not go?

Steer clear of making it farcical but go as close as you dare. Be gushing. Make sure his skin crawls. But keep your expression stoic.
Don't stop until his complexion turns beetroot.

Do they have outside green space that you can dig up and plough with salt? Otherwise, just mine the key installations and be on your way with a cheery wave.
