I got the farewell pressie and card, no lunch, which I am grateful for. I am going to miss my team.

I agree. Making the decision to go is difficult but once you do, it’s like a great weight being lifted off you.

And once you want to go, there all the hideous rituals: going out for lunch, saying goodbye, and all that, when all you want to do is clear out and go.

Sometimes, though, you need to put up with the rituals - after all it’s only 1/2 day or something like that. And remember how small the world is, not playing in the rituals is a form of burning bridges.

What a huge relief when you finally leave a job you can no longer love as the appreciation is not there for your efforts. No wonder you feel better about the decision. Sometimes the hardest act is making the move (why do wife-bashing victims find it so hard to leave?) and that may be similar to your feelings.

Go for it and enjoy the new job, responsibility and opportunity presented. You know you deserve it.

yeah..

i have been ignored by my bosses, but at least my team like me.

I don’t think i will do the lunch thing, but maybe I will buy them some drinks or something from the cafe as a thank you for being an awesome team.

I understand what you’re saying about the good-bye meal and all, but I was promised one at my old place and they waited a week after I was gone before they had one (and I was out of the country).

I guess the act of having to go can be a drain, but you should at least feel that people want to say ‘Good-bye’. It sure beats being ignored.
