Leaving Email

Nathan · 25 Sep 2006 at 11:51

I will be leaving my current employment at the end of this week, as a placement student and want to send a good bye to everyone as an email? I remember seeing a thread here in GD about a leaving email but cant find it via search?! Any tips?

Careful. For smaller employers, it's generally OK, but for bigger ones, many employers frown on them (I know mine does).

'GOODBYE, LOSERS!'

Agreed, a letter is better for workplace etiquette.

It's not a resignation letter. I think writing a letter to say goodbye is a bit much.

So no email then? I guess there are 40 people in this office?

Ah, I didn't notice the 'everyone'

In that case, just say something about thankyou for supporting me etc. Say you enjoyed your stay and wish everyone the best of luck for the future and say a box of biscuits is in the kitchen for you all.

Do what I do. When I leave, I just take a few moments out of the day to go and speak to those that support me. My employer doesn't mind because I managed to get the days work completed by noon, allowing any other work to be completed, easily giving me time to wander round.
