Saying goodbye to your employer

[Kerry]

My boss is resigning. we never really got on, but I want to part on good terms, I wont be there on the day she retires, which is today! but I'd like to send her a text message, just to wish her well, The trouble is I don't know what to put in it. HELP!?

[samak]

Good luck for the future, bitch.

OK, leave out the last word.

[Teddy_boy]

Seems pointless as you never got on. Almost as pointless as posting this about someone you never got on with. Odd.

[samak]

If you really want to part on good terms then I would call her. Sending a text is worse than doing nothing IMO.

[Kerry]

I'd love to say something like that smack, ( I think most of us would) But now that she's going a collection is being made for her, I didn't contribute to it. She is having a get together tomorrow and everyone is invited, I wont be going.
Teddy there is many others there that didnt get on with her, yet they are still going to be there for her send-off and they contributed to her kitty, these are people that bad mouth her on a daily basis.

[Teddy_boy]

May as well send flowers , chocolates a text message and possibly a tearful telephone call.Oh sorry,forget that , i thought you liked them.

[Kerry]

I think I am going to be the only one that doesn't turn up for her send-off!

[Kerry]

I'm not going to spend money on her, a text message is free!

[samak]

Kerry,
At least you are not being as hypocritical as the others.

[Teddy_boy]

Hypocritical would be to do anything , even sending a free text. I believe moonpig do lovely personalised cards .

[samak]

Not sure I agree with you Teddy. Being there for her send-off and contributing to her kitty would be hypocritical. A simple text or phone call would be politeness.

[Kerry]

Thanks smack, your name has giving me an idea..;-)
Moonpig is just too muck effort teddy.
Thanx for the suggestions anyway. Night.

[Teddy_boy]

Agree or disagree im still right.

[samak]

Teddy,
You'll make a good wife.

I'm with teddy on this. Why bother - just wonder whether the next boss will be any different. Perhaps the others gave to the collection because they wanted to speed her on her way. Like I lent someone £20 once and haven't seen them since, but think it was a good price to pay to get rid of them.

[Bobbisox]

it must be a 'new' thing, we never had our bosses phone number (no mobiles then)

[Dee Sa]

in your mind you have already said godbye, just leave it at that !

[Dee Sa]

sorry I meant goodbye.
