I GOT THE JOB!

[Quirkyme]

Evening,

I made a few posts here about an interview for a senior role that I had coming up earlier this week, I bossed the interview, and got a call a few hours after offering me the role, I'm really pleased!

As the role is internal for me, it'll be a transfer (I'll be moving to a different team)....

Is it unreasonable to not hold a leaving do, do you think?

I've been in my current role two years, and only tend to go to social work things that are within work hours... otherwise, I don't really attend things, and would prefer not to hold a leaving do.... but it seems to be the 'done' thing in my current team??

It’s a transfer, you’re not leaving. No do required.

Congrats! I’d say no need for a ‘do’; especially if you don’t want one

Well done! No leaving do required, you're not leaving.

Congratulations!

I've never known anyone to organise their own leaving do anyway?

If your colleagues from your current team want to organise a little drink, would you go?

A leaving do would be a bit weird seeing as you’re not leaving

Good shout... technically I'm not leaving the organisation, yes!

But others in my position, who have left our team to go to senior roles in different teams within the organisation have held leaving do's....

That is wonderful!

Congratulations OP! 💐🍾🎉🎊

Yay! Congratulations! ☺️

Thanks for the well wishes! I'm so happy, and pleased, and excited!

Maybe take in cake to have with your current team at tea time on your last day? Low key, but a way to mark your leaving them.

And huge congratulations!

We're continuing to work from home....

Thank you so much!

Ah. Then a teams meeting where you all just have a chat and you tell them how much you’ve loved working with them? If your team is small, could you send them a cupcake or biscuits each to all eat together on screen?
