Can the last employee to leave Sage, please turn off the lights...
Pros
> You can look back fondly on working with some genuine and great people over the years during your time here
Cons
Also, if you ARE the last person to leave... >check the fridges have been switched off and emptied. "Empty all the fridges that were used by 1500 personnel????" I hear you say? No need to fret - there were only 2 shared by all staff >"SELL!! SELL!! SELL!!" >Wipe down all the microwaves. Same again - it's not such a big task - 1500 personnel had to share 4 microwaves, so it's not a massive ask. Besides, as you are the last person, there is no queue at lunchtime now. >Post something on Chatter - the internal "Social Media" tool. You are the last person leaving, so only you will read it - but that was always the case anyway. Frodo should have hidden the ring on Chatter - even Sauron would not have been able to find it there! >Ensure all your monthly 121s are up to date, your mid year is up to date, and your final year review is up to date. Although you are the last person in Sage, and nobody else going to read it, they never did anyway. As you're now the last employee, you also need to take care of the management tasks too (dont worry - there's no need to read anyone's appraisal)... >>Share a post on LinkedIn - a leadership quote by Simon Sinek is perfect ( just to give the appearance to LinkedIn land that you give a hoot about leadership - it's okay that you dont actually care though, apparently ) >>Post on twitter about how inspired you are by customers. Again it helps to give the appearance you give a damn - you don't necessarily need to care about customers, apparently Most importantly >> dont tell the shareholders you are the last one to go. Whatever happens, we have to ensure these random strangers that nobody knows, that do nothing, but make everyone miserable, are kept happy, so that they can be a small % richer as a result of what you do.
