everytime i've left a job I write a Last Will and Testament and send it to everyone :) It's clever, witty and everyone remembers you by it. You can leave things to certain people - To Frank, I leave the jammed copier, you take care of it this time. To Julie, I leave my cup of pens, since you're always taking them anyways.
:)
actually, dont do that... it's my thing ;)

as Dmulins said, whatever the way things stop (leaving or getting laid of), it's better to be remembered as a nice guy, not a complete childish employee.when I quit my previous job I made a kind of family picture using the simpsons character creator, and sent it to everyone I worked with. They've been very pleased with that, and l when later I asked for a recommandation letter, I was glad I did not fucked up anything (basicaly I quit cause I was fed up, and could bear working at this place anymore...)

Find a classy way to do something memorable on your way out. Instead of being the prick that everyone remembers for being a sore loser, be the guy who everyone remembers as understanding the situation at-hand, and who made light of it.
Better to be remember for being professional, than being remembered as the guy who moped and pouted around his last four days -- regardless or whether you're being laid off, fired, downsized, whatever you want to call it.
For instance, make a "thank you" card that reminds each person of your skills and talents, or a funny moment you shared together. In that same note, remind them that, "Hey, I'm available for freelance work now too."

I would walk up to most attractive woman, and say Now i'm leaving I can say what I've always wanted, say you love her, give her a kiss and walk out...
A sweet way to finish...
dumping in the office is base
- Hah, this would be too awesome.dMullins

If you have the kind of swivel chairs that can come apart, do so and drop a couple of shrimp into the swivel. They'll remember you, long after your gone.

hold up a goldfish in a plastic bag and yell "who's coming with me?!? who's coming with me... besides flipper?"

when i knew i was leaving a few years ago i took all 500 of my business cards and spent the remainder of the week leaving them in every nook and cranny around the office. it was a big hit with the gang after i left. the innocent prank fit my personality and style and didn't do any harm to anyone or the company. and, it let them know "you may be getting rid of me and i may be leaving, but you'll be remembering me FAR longer than i will you."
good luck!

- Don't be fooled by this class-act example of humor. They don't call him "upper decker" for nothing.harlequino
- :)harlequino
- and yes, i left an upper decker. LOL harlequino!kona
- I left bus cards with everyone when I quit and got some freelance work that way.theredmasque
- thats kind of a "d-bag" move. its like saying "hey guys, i'm leaving, wanna have me make you a website?" i would have put that business card right in the trash.ambermiro

Are you getting fired or downsized? Cause if its the latter, don't quit. Collect unemployment.
