Yes, please do. Attatch a 4.5 meg video of something, then mail AllUsers@where-ever.org.

If not that, then no.

When I retire I am going to send out a mass email saying that I am going to go take a shit and that Joe Blow (whomever is my subordinate) is in charge while I am away from my desk.

Except the OP wouldn't be doing it to be an attention whore. He's just stupid.

I will probably send out the list of salaries to everyone if I leave here badly. I don't forsee that happening, but I have seen too many friends just fucked by companies they were dedicated too.

just send an email saying hey lets kit. here's my email. no one's ever going to email you. that way in the future when one of those guys on your team becomes program director you can be like hey hook me up wit a job son.

go for it! what have you got to lose?

in any job I've worked, I don't think I've ever seen a mass email sent to the company by an employee because they were leaving.

closest I've seen to it was my old boss, who sent an email to the department he ran before accepting a promotion into a different department just thanking everyone for working hard for him and whatnot.

You can lose not looking like an idiot.


Just leave, you already said goodbye. People are going to think you have Asperger's or just lack social skills if you send out an email in addition.

 

[puffff]

Keep it short, about two sentences ought cover it. Leave your email and phone number at the end.

 

[CrazyLazy]

Send everyone a link to goatse.

1) Are you stupid OP? Get a freaking clue about how to be social! E-mails are how things work at work.

2) You email the people you worked with, probably like 10 at most and you tell them you're leaving. WHO CARES. People get 20 emails a day or more and they just skim through half of them. If they don't care about you, they won't bother. Boo hoo, it's not spam or anything.

3) It's called being POLITE. I've done internships for 2 months where I email everyone when I leave. I've gotten responses back and additionally they've emailed me at my personal account to keep in touch. Unless people hate you, there's no reason to do it.

This is even more pathetic than your L&R posts.

Exact text from an email just today from someone leaving:

Just wanted to send a note out to say "Goodbye to everyone"?..As most of you know today is my last day at Work, I have enjoyed working with each and everyone of you.

MaryJoe Schmoe
Job Title from some other department

I have no clue who this person is...nor do I care. It happens all the time, and there are a few thousand employees here. If we both worked here 20 years I probably wouldn't know who they are. It's really not a big deal, but it does clog my inbox. For some reason people here just love to use the "ALL" distribution list for the most random shit.

well they already KNEW that I was leaving so why make another announcement?

and the ones that I would be emailing to are the same people that I've already spoken to/shook hands with/said "keep in touch" face to face or over Instant Messenger before I left

They already know my contact info so I'm not going to be an attention whore. If they want to contact me in the future, they know how to reach me.
