We had a going away party at work for someone I didn't get along with very well. I wish that I had had the courage to say something. Of course I wasn't going to be mean or anything. Things like:
"So and So is a real leader. People will follow him anywhere. Out of morbid curiosity." Or "I've learned a lot from so and so. Mostly what NOT to do." (This is true by the way. He once burned up a boat motor and left us stranded for hours. Ended up getting back to the office at 2 am after being rescued by coworkers). Mostly, though, my stories about this person involve me being pissed off at him so I couldn't really tell them.
I won't miss him but I am not welcoming the extra work this now means for me.
