Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

C Block - there's no place like it.

Yesterday was the retirement presentation - many thanks to all for my card and collection– but today is the reality of my last day. I am very happy to be leaving, but after over 34 years with the company, a last day feels very strange.

I certainly have a lot of memories to take away with me and every time I use my hybrid-trail-bike (retirement award from the company), I can think of you still working hard !!

Please join me at lunch-time across the road in the <local pub> for a traditional retirement farewell drink.

I shall wander around the building to say goodbye to the many I know well, but if I miss anybody out , I wish you wealth, health and happiness for the future.

All the best

Pete

That one's quite gracious TR. Here's one we had last Friday:

---

I’m out

I’ve learned an incredible amount in my time here since January, initially working on <Project1>, then moving to <Project2>and most recently <Project3>.
It’s been a nice place to work, most of you are cool, and I leave having had some good times, and made some friends for life.

I didn’t bring any cake, but I’m gonna pour up a few cups of chilled water and leave them on my desk if anyone wants one.

Hasta Luego

Nothing says thank you like a personalized hashtag

Dear <person>,

On behalf of our teams and all of us, we want to say thank you for your leadership and guidance as interim CEO these last seven months. Now it’s time to get back to your motorcycle road trips with your son and spending more quality time with your other family.
