Ages ago, when I sent a job I had been at for 10 years, on each day of my last week I sent out a PowerPoint with audio. Each "episode" explained in a funny way our work. It was called "Die Sendung mit der Laus" (a name relating to a popular children's show in Germany). My boss chided me as much as he had to, still he and the other team leads sat and watched all episodes that I had on a continuous run on my laptop during my leave-do party at the office. They gave me printed and laminated emails I had sent over the years ( I often tried to make recurring emails funny in some way, eg. movie.title themed). Honestly it was hard work, but so much fun, and that they kept my emails brought out all the onion ninjas.

I'm currently preparing for my departure from my job. I've been purposely staffing the store with unqualified and undependable people, just like when the store was given to me. My assistant manager believes he's being trained to take over but, fun fact, no. I'm purposely leaving holes in his training especially in critical areas, mainly because he believes he already knows everything and refuses to learn. I'm also aware that he has been stealing and after my departure LP is going to receive an anonymous tip. I also have documentation on numerous health and safety violations that the company has been ignoring. These will be reported to the OSHA and the local Health Department. There are also a few minor issues that I won't bother going into. The best part about it is that, while some may suspect me of having done this, they won't be able to prove it.
