Some of us like the UK and like living here.
We are not all migrating to escape something.

It is a very well known trait though amongst a number of brits to belittle someone else's achievements/dreams - be it the green eyed monster or what I don't know, but it just seems like they come out of the woodwork all at the same time - in my case, today!

... plus of course they say 'See you in 9 months' cos that's how long I lasted last time I left, before being made redundant and returning to more or less my old job (but on 10% less money than I was originally offered to stay)

Both times I have ended up going back because it suited me (and them).
Start again next week. Working part time for a while.
Best not to burn ALL your bridges.

Haven't told my boss yet!! Dreading it and have to do it soon as the cut off date looms! Should be interesting!

Other things have happened at work since I announced I was leaving which have really wound me up. However, I keep trying to smile and shrug things off with the thought that my wife and I are doing something with our lives and the petty things building up around don't affect me.
They don't affect me really but when people are being pricks, they're being pricks! And it's just pure frustration and the stupidity of small-minded people that gets to me.
The other problem is that my wife is having a similar problem at the school she teaches at.

Sorry for the blasphemous thread, but I've got no other outlet at the moment, already sent a txt to the wife to have a good moan but am still in an office full of...
yes....
you guessed it........
PRICKS!!!!!!!!!!
To give this thread any other relevance, I was just wondering how other people found their last few weeks in their job before leaving?

Re: How do work colleagues treat you in the last few weeks?
Hi Rob, I know exactly how you are feeling and I haven't even got my visa yet so they still don't know when I'm leaving. I think you're absolutly right and those people need to get a life. I've tried to make a couple of changes to the way we work for the benefit of the people I will (gladly) leave behind but nobody is interested. 
I've got a picture of my Dads house, bathed in sun with the palm trees in the garden as my wallpaper on my PC and it annoys the hell out of them all. Plus whenever someone comes past my machine that hasn't seen the picture they say "ooh that looks nice where is it?" to which I reply "my new home down under", pressing the smug button!!!
Probably doesn't help but I'll send some karma.
