    Emotional good bye

    Ok so I have done several contracts now and am used to the process of good bye. Not a big deal, bring some krispy kremes, chocolates, send a couple of thank you emails and then bye. But these Yorkshire folk are different; They were all so nice to me, took me out on a nice meal in a top class restaurant, all added me in linked in and really showed appreciation for my efforts. I'm happy to just accept a thank you and leave but after a thoroughly enjoyable contract and receiving so much appreciation and warmth, I was genuinely emotional to be leaving.



    God bless the Yorkshire folk. Maybe I'm losing my touch a bit?

                My best leaving presents came from a 3 month contract in NHS Leeds.

                But in my previous contract in West Yorkshire they barely looked up from their PCs when I left.

                  My best was from Eurotunnel (French side) after my first ever contract.

                    Similar to mine, this was my first ever contract (and first ever job too) they all wanted to take me out to a restaurant but they all know I'm fussy so the manager told them not to. They gave me a gift card on my way out and they were all coming up to me for handshakes and hugs. I was genuinely sad to be leaving such a big company with a good commutable distance from home, somewhere I guess I would have been happy to go perm at. Now all the roles I'm being offered require me to get a train to the heart of the city, they are all in places like canary wharf etc.
