How to avoid my leaving drinks

[pogofish]

When I left my last job, they were all for throwing a leaving party for me, some months after my quick departure - until I told them that if certain people attended I would feel no reason to exercise any restraint over doing them serious injury.

They let the idea drop!

My mrs' company spunked £6k on a leaving do for a director that was fucking off to a rival firm. They don't pay their staff bonuses but waste money on a leaving "party"

media idiots!

i was about to start a thread on this very subject, having been offered a new job and, after five years, having my saturdays back.

Congratulations!

congratulations.

now it is time to tell everyone at your old job exactly and at length what you thought of them. preferably after they've all paid for the drinks all night.

has drink been taken?

sadly not, just a temporary lapse in brain function affecting typig.

I usually go for the 'Oh I don't want a big fuss' route which is basically code for 'Fuck off, I'm not interested'.

To get out of drinks in the evening start drinking at your desk around about mid-day.

Well, see, i plan well in advance for this possibility. Been in my current job for 14 years, and they all believe me to be an anti social git, as i do not, under any circumstances spend my time, out of working hours, with work colleagues.

Find religion and suggest they accompany you to a thankyou service/prayers at church, temple or mosque.
