On my first day at work we all met in the boardroom. New employees, slightly nervous, excited, optimistic.
On the last day, we have tea and cake in the boardroom. They say how they will miss my contribution. I make a submissive two-sentence speech on how the people I worked with made it worthwhile. All carefully worded, no-one upsetting anyone else.
They give me a gift voucher.
Then we eat, mingle, chat. Say goodbye. I tell about my new adventure. Answer questions on where and how and what.
We disperse. The MD disappears without saying a word.
