Moral dilemna: Unknown person leaving the company

[Bozza]

So yet another card and collection passes across my desk.

On this occasion I really have no idea who the person leaving is. Do I write some oh-so-witty note in the card and throw a couple of quid into the collection or think "f*** it - I have no idea who this is for" and just pass it on to someone else?

What would you do?

 

[Monkster]

The usual..Happy Birthday - whoops wrong card

 

[wehatepalace]

f*** em, give the card to someone who gives a f***. People come and go thats life if you don't know them then pass it on

 

[Nibble]

Pass it on. Whats the point if you dont know em?

 

[Cian]

What I've done here since the merger that means I know less than half the staff: sign the card, ignore the envelope; try to make sure the person collecting doesn't see you doing that...

 

[British Bulldog]

Just pass it to the next person, It's all very well keep dipping your hand in your pocket when people leave but it's not as if they're going to be around to repay the compliment when it's your turn.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Write "who?" in the card and pass it on.

I would write what you have written above and sellotape a lock of your pubic hair to the card with a question mark next to it.

You'd end up pornstar-like if there was a high staff turnover, though.

I did. I had to stop it when I was given the full Barrymore treatment on the boardroom table by our executive group whilst smeone played some twangy 70's funk guitar.

pass it on- if you dont them, dont feel obliged at all. the recipient may also wonder who the' unknown' people are too!

I'd love to say "write nothing TAKE some cash" - still better have the balls to do it.
It really pisses me off cards coming round all the time for people I wouldnt know if I stood next to them in the bloody toilet. I'd rather give decent money to collections for someone I know and justr dont f***ing ask me when I havent a clue who they are

Exactly - and most of the ones I do know, I can't stand the sight of.

 

[NMH]

Write; "good, I never liked you anyway"

Then, they might pop over to see you, so you can get to know each other.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Write something, take enough for a pint.

 

[Scoffers]

I usually right something of the wall when it's someone you don't know, something like:-

Hope the piles clears up soon, good luck,

(swap piles with STD or other equally witty insert)

Or just put:-

Merry Christmas

and move on

 

[magoo]

Write: Don't be a stranger. Oh you already are.

or just write something slightly offensive and sign it from someone you hate.

 

[Nibble]

Just write that you enjoyed your gay love affair while he was here and no hard feelings. He will like that.

 

[perth seagull]

Just write that you enjoyed sleeping with his wife and you will continue to do so despite him leaving the company.
