I am about to leave my job soon and I was wondeirng what sort of leaving gift will I get.
My previous job gave me the worst leaving present I coud ever think of:
A RM Williams Stubby holder.
--- plus ---
some Plastic farmyard animals.
I should have got an oscar for my performance as the gallant recipient.
What are some of the worst you have ever got?

How long were you there for... a day?!
That's a pretty poor leaving present.
Do you feel undervalued?
My ex-boss was made redundant, the whip-round bought him an iPod Nano.

You got gifts when you left your job? What freakazoid company was this? Who was it, Carol the receptionist with the gimpy eye who had a crush on you who gave you the gifts? I mean nothing says silent, unrequited office love quite like plastic barnyard animals...

I didn't feel undervalued, I was only there for 8 months so the whiparound probably mustered up about 5 quid.
I think people saved their money for buying me beer.

----------------------Very true.
UK businesses appreciate their work force.
And reward them being un-loyal and fucking off to another job by buying us stuff.
Works for me.

My boss gave this one woman who eats the most out of everyone (I'm probably in second place) a bag FULL of chocolate and candy. It was pretty sweet.
