Jul 10, 2013 at 10:44 comment added Michael Grubey @RhysW Agreed..A 'I don't care what you say as its my last day attitude' would not be a smart move...they are providing a lunch as well so everything still seems in good nature.
Jul 10, 2013 at 8:44 comment added user5305 @MeredithPoor your second comment suggests telling him in advance and organising it with him, which i find acceptable, your original comment that i disagreed with seemed to suggest just ditching work for a couple of hours without agreed permission from your current company
Jul 10, 2013 at 8:42 comment added Meredith Poor @RhysW - This taking time off to go interview for another job isn't particularly malicious. Were I in the situation of the present manager, I would congratulate him on finding another opportunity and grant him leave to meet with his new employer. If he did it without telling me in advance, I'd forgive him. There are worse things departing employees could do.
Jul 10, 2013 at 8:10 comment added user5305 @MeredithPoor but burning bridges and leaving on bad terms can be detrimental to ones career. you never know if you will have to interact with them again, perhaps as clients, perhaps as colleagues or a boss in a new job if they move too.
