Why would you throw a party for an employee who is quitting after 6 mos of work?????

So anyway,

I started working for the state for the past 4 months or so now. There is this woman there (DBA), that I can pretty much describe as an over aggressive, sly, back stabbing, ladder climbing bitch. Anyway her last day was last week friday. The office throws a party for her leaving . She even admits during the party that she's sure people are happy that she's leaving.....

You answered your own question... they're happy she's leaving, so, PARTY!

and its an excuse for a party. so why not?

we had a chick who worked for my dad. sweet girl, but lazy as hell and never did anything, and people complained about having to take up her slack.

but she got a party when she left. who gives a fuck...we had cake!

I can tell you, a lot of people, even the software vendors were happy to see her go. I didn't even go to her bs party. I mean you give a party to someone who's been there 2 years at least.

I left a job after one year, and my group took me to lunch to see me off. I was pretty well liked (I guess), worked really hard, and got a lot accomplished in my first year there, so I guess that explains it. Plus, its an excuse to go out on the company....

They figured it would help ensure she didn't sabotage the database on her last day.

"Will there be cake?"

I think the point was the party was for everyone else . . .

I got a party after working only 6 months out of a 9 month contracting job. I did a kick-ass job while I was there and I think half of them wanted to come with me to the startup I went to.
