to be annoyed with my colleagues

[user1498911589]

I work full time but with two part time colleagues in a small office. I'm leaving in a couple of weeks and was hoping to go for a coffee with them both but it's now cancelled since one colleague refuses to go with the other. WWYD?

Can you not just see them separately?

Sounds like you're well rid.

See them separately and then move on!

Just go with them both separately? If they don’t get on and both went it would be awkward and uncomfortable.

I thought about that but they both want to go for coffee on the last day so I cancelled it at that point as they seemed so childish.

It is a bit childish. I’ve had colleagues I’d walk under buses to avoid socialising with, but a leaving do - even just a coffee - is different. I’d make minimal small talk to avoid making life harder for the colleague I DID like and then bitch like mad about the other one to my friends later.

Forget going out, take a cake in and have a coffee at work.

In two weeks' time you will never have to see these people again. Just take a cake in and say your goodbyes.

Do they actually work with/know each other? Is colleague B (Colleague A being the one refusing to go) willing to go with you both? If so I’d be inclined to arrange it with B as they aren’t the childish one and then tell A it’s up to them if they would like to join you both or not. If you’d like to maintain anything with both of them after you’ve left then just meet one on the last day and the other the day before if you can be arsed

Colleague A&B both know each other and both work together, both are lovely. Colleague A was offended by something Colleague B said to me (so was I but I let it go) as it was insensitive and so Colleague A has decided that she doesn't want to go to a coffee shop with Colleague B.
Colleague B is, as far as I know oblivious of how Colleague A feels.

Seems like a high school drama. Bet you’re glad to be rid of it! I guess though it depends on what B said and whether it’s enough to fall out over. I still maintain to go with B and invite A or just go to coffee with both on separate days to save yourself the headache.

Crikey OP, just be glad you're leaving, sounds horrific! But YANBU, they should grow up for the sake of spending an hour with you on your last day

So hang on - B is in a strop with A on your behalf? Even though you’re over it?

I’d tell her straight up that if you can forgive A, so can she for the sake of an hour on your last day. If the whole thing is supposedly about sticking up for you, she should care enough about you to come.
