The kid, as symbol man calls him (I call him the big boss in deep irony), sent me a passive-aggressive congratulatory note in response to the official announcement that I'm leaving. The first paragraph followed this outline: 1. congratulations; 2. sorry to see you go; 3. guilt trip about the lurch you're leaving us in.
The second paragraph discussed a new project he needs me to complete before I leave. HA!
Okay, that was weird enough. Within a day of my announcement comes an announcement that a coworker of mine is also leaving! Today she asked me if I got a weird congratulatory note from the big boss, like she did. "Let me guess," I said. "Congratulations. Sorry you're going. Guilt trip." "YES!" she said.
The big boss is a big jerk.
