Would you find this rude? Colleague leaving?

If they said “its a pleasure to announce I’m leaving”

I would find that hilarious 🤣

I'd laugh to!

Ha ha ha - I think I would crack up reading that. Very witty..

No, I’d think it was funny

Sounds more honest than rude.

Unless there's more to it that you aren't saying...

Brilliant - well done them

If they said “its a pleasure to announce I’m leaving”

Nope, I love that.

Fantastic way to put it. !!

No, I would just smile and nod

That’s funny nny

I suppose if I was the owner-manager of a small business I might be offended but otherwise I'd think it was funny.

No, it’s funny

Could be worse. I left a "Sorry for your loss" card on my last day.

I would laugh. Many don't love their job I wouldn't be offended.

I would laugh.

Funny

Good for them!

I remember colleagues who were retiring would send emails along the lines of "there will be a meeting of the escape committee in Conference Room B at 4pm after which we will make a break for the pub at 5pm". But I suppose retiring is different to leaving for another job!

Getting their digs in whilst they can?

One ex-colleague gave a leaving speech and said she was "honoured" to be leaving us to work for a "worthwhile charity", then lectured us all about "how easy our lives are" and finished with "any monkey can do this job". Awkward faces all round.

I later found out that the "worthwhile charity" didn't pay her for 4 months, so she had to leave and find another job in the private sector she'd flounced out of.

I think I’d need a bit of context with that. It sounds amusing on the surface.

Brilliant!

I said worse when I left my last job 😂

Well they wouldn't be leaving if they didn't want to!

Unless there is a drip feed of a backstory, I wouldn’t find it rude at all.
