Last Day At My Job

[pimpsqueak]

Well, in a few hours I finish in my warehousing job. I've been here for 2-1/2 years but have been in this career for 19 years or so.
The question is, how best to say goodbye? What would you do/say?

I have already drafted my farewell email to the entire organisation and with any luck, half the people who read it will click the link to my blog and promptly get Rick Rolled.

So, how would you sign off? Take a dump in the water cooler? Crash the network? Dry hump a workmate? Or, maybe you genuinely like the place and people... :blink:

Depends if you are into burning bridges or not.

...And what will the repecussions down the track be at the new workplace, etc...?

Maybe crack a quality beer or three at your desk in the final hour there.

 

[pimpsqueak]

Sadly, the only beer in the place is Boags.
One of our customers keeps giving it to us, thinking it's top stuff. In over 2 years I have not been able to reeducate him

Top load in the dunny

^ Yep do that. Also know as an Upper Decker.

Leftover grains from a mash.
Double bag it in plastic
Leave it somewhere dark and warm.

Nasty. I have done that to myself before.
I think an Upper Decker would be the lesser of 2 evils in this instance. :icon_vomit:

When my most recent employer let my whole crew go on short notice all I did at the end of the last day was go home and get on with my life.

How terribly imaginative.

 

[bum]

I know. My life must be so empty...

Bit of a mixed bag.
I'm an equal opportunist though :icon_chickcheers:

I used to work at a pub and one of the guys that was leaving put porn on every TV in the place (about 20 TVs and a big screen) by hijacking the foxtel a few minutes before closing time to a packed house. Surprisingly there weren't many complaints.

All the funny imaginative exits may be OK when talked about here on this forum. I'm as much in favour of practical jokes as the next person, but there is a time and place.

What sort of image do you want to leave behind to influence your next or future employer when they contact your old employer to check on your antecedents?

Better to leave on a professional note.

 

[pimpsqueak]

I settled on the Rickroll. Could have been worse, I could have done the ol porkspin instead. Although given the industry, I don't think I would have ruffled too many feathers with a porkspin.

I'm down to 7 shifts at my work.......Contemplating my last day, I'll probably just do what I've done for the last 12months, as little as possible.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

If your last employer was a complete *******, I suggest the old poo under the margarine trick... <_<

Please do not ask for an explanation

If I was ever to leave a brewing job in style, I'd play ten pin bowling with a stack of empty kegs, a forklift and a wet floor.

That and fill the mash tun with warm water and hop in for a bit o' slap & tickle.

I would never really do these things though, honest.

I have heard that prawns (or fish of any sort really - apparently old left over fishing bait is best) in the air conditioning can get nasty and be a terrible thing to have to clean up. Stinks for ages too...or so I've been told h34r:
