14 years working in a dept and not even a cheap bunch of flowers

[tupperwareAARGGH]

Massively outing myself here but....

I have just left a department that I worked in for 14 years and wasn't even given a cheap bunch of flowers. 14 years!!!

I've contributed to many peoples leaving presents and I didn't even get a card from the department either. I did get a card from the team I worked with last night but nothing from the whole department.

Its made me feel very sad and upset when I know I shouldn't let it get to me and YES, YES I know I should never expect people to buy me something but nothing, nothing after such a long time.

I'm being unreasonable to be upset by this aren't I??

Yes, it's not the gift or lack of gift, it's the unfairness of it. Either everyone gets something or no-one gets it.

I would have been embarrassed to receive anything the day I left.

But after 18 years I never thought it would come down to me having to hunt for someone to give my mobile phone and laptop back in to

They had gone to the pub......because the PA was leaving(after two years)!

Wondering if you work the company I recently left. They had similar form, the directors made a fuss of all their favourites and were sure to send them out sixty pound bunches of flowers (smallish company, credit card receipts came through some of us so we'd see the amounts spent) on their birthday or if they had the sniffles etc, the rest of us got nothing.

My ten year service was also ignored despite me continually dropping hints, I ended up telling them it upset me and they blamed me for not telling them (I did several times, they just don't listen to anything they're not interested in)

Leaving that company was the best thing I ever did.

How incredibly rude, on all fronts! Draw a line under it and don't look back. You have definitely done the right thing by removing yourself from the Feb group. Enjoy your new job, and more quality time with your ds. 💐🍰🍷

I had the same when leaving to go on maternity leave. No one even said all the best to me or congratulated me, I was really upset but it really said more about them than me

inneedof that is awful and really cruel.
