It\u2019s not an easy task. Especially if you have worked with them, side by side, for many years. It takes a lot of thought and planning on your part. Should you have a party? Do you go to dinner? Or do you just have a little send off with a cake and balloons?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6153\" alt=\"Saying Goodbye\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Saying-Goodbye.jpg\" width=\"556\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Saying-Goodbye.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Saying-Goodbye-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are in a big office a large office party may not be the answer. Especially considering that unless it is an executive or someone who you deal with on a daily basis, most people will not know who it is that is leaving. You may want to get the advice of other co-workers and see if they would all prefer to go out for dinner or drinks. If it\u2019s a smaller office and things aren\u2019t too hectic, you may want to have a little office party. This way everyone is able to be there and give their well wishes.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an office with only a few employees, both are acceptable. How about an office party that flows into a dinner farewell? Of course with a smaller office, people tend to bond a little more. So saying goodbye to a co-worker may need some Kleenex. Whether they are moving far away, or just leaving their position. Either way, it\u2019s never easy saying goodbye to a co-worker.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How do you say goodbye to a co-worker? It\u2019s not an easy task.
