Better without you!

If I were let go because after all these years they didn't want to pay me and they see me as a liability when I am not , I would say a Plague on their house! But if I am the one who found a better paying job and it was my idea to leave, I would genuinely wish them luck.

Of the many companies I've worked with, I never looked back to see what happened after I left. If ever those companies improved without me, good for them. It could mean a lot of things, and that they were better off without me is just one of them. Of course, I accept that there are a lot of people there that are better than me. It's just a fact that people are not indispensable in a company, as other people might think. There would always be someone who will fill the void you left, and that someone could be better, could be worse. But, since I've left the company already, I couldn't care less. My farewell mails mostly say that I'm thankful that they gave me an opportunity to work with them, and that whatever skills I've learned from them, I would be able to use to wherever I would go next.

Bounce! ~ People Just Say that because it's general, it's the proper thing to say. They want to suck up that last time before leaving the company and by sucking up they hope if they strike out somewhere else they'll be welcomed back at your company. I would only be a sour grape if I did something stupid and accepted a lower pay because I thought the job I was going to would be easier!

i think when we are leaving from old office, we must pray that we and the office get the same success..you can success even with the other company and your old company can success too without you

Interesting way of looking at it, bounce! I don't think a company's success or failure could be dependant on me (or any one person) so, yes, I could leave and wish them well. That is providing I CHOSE to leave. If I left my current employer, it would be because THEY didn't meet MY expectations and I thought my talents would fit better in a different, more forward-thinking company. I'd still hope they'd adopt some new approaches and succeed. If they didn't, all the hard work I did there was for nothing. Of course, if I was sacked, sour grapes would definitely be involved.

If it were my choice to leave the workplace, moving on to, hopefully bigger and better things, I would surely wish the business and my soon-to-be ex-coworkers well. However, if I were leaving on negative terms, I might not wish the business well or any co-workers I didn't care about for whatever reason.

To be honest whenever I left a place of employment it never occurred to me to care how it was going without me! Whenever I have changed jobs it has been to do something better for myself so I haven’t given the place I left a second thought especially if I was not treated well while I worked there.

I wouldn't mind because if I were leaving it might be because it just wasn't the job for me. I might have been terrible at it but not because I am terrible at everything..lol...Now that is provided I wasn't upset about the way I was treated there..then I might be a sour grape

I've only left a couple of jobs in my life to move on to things that are better than where I had been in the past and in those situations I didn't really leave a nice note for the company to be successful because I felt to a certain extent that they weren't fair to their employees. That said, the last job that I left was only because I was going to have a new baby to take care of and I did wish them the best of luck because I didn't really want to leave, but I also couldn't afford to pay daycare for two children so that I could continue to work.

Of the few companies I left behind, I have never really looked back. I always wish a company well, especially if I left dear co-workers behind that the company continue to succeed. However, I have never looked back. I suppose if I left it was with good reason and or perhaps better opportunities. Something I suppose I practice with life I do not go backward in life, not being cruel in anyway. Also I have always had to work very far distances from my home to if I no longer work there I do not choose to opt for the long drive. I suppose I could pick up the phone every now again, for some reason I have never actually looked back.

Better things for that particular employee may not be better for everyone in the company. Sometimes it could be a mismatch of job and the employee is just moving onto something that is more suitable. I think it is nice to do that as there is a feeling of friendliness. If that person is fired, then that's another story.
