    It brings a tear to my eye

    Left a contract 6 weeks ago after a few months and they got me a goodbye card. Not expected - I'm only a contractor you know.

    Got called back as my replacement went AWOL.

    Left again today and the buggers have got me a card with a gift voucher this time! Almost makes me want to go permie

    So a big to all of them!

        Actually when my 2nd daughter was born my current employers sent round a big f off bunch of flowers, with champagne and baby hamper etc. I'd only been there 6 weeks - kinda freaked me out to be honest. If they were a chick I'd be watching my bunnies ...

          Yeh, it is really galling when people sometimes do things you SNEER at and it makes you feel warm inside. Probably indigestion.
