Monday

Monday is the last day for my department manager. I have been talking with him and telling him he made a wise choice. He is a single guy and can go anywhere or do any job he wants. I suggested the department of natural resources since he likes the outdoors. He liked that idea.

Although my co-workers hate him, I always got along with him so, my question to you is: is it lame to give him a going away gift?
I only ask because I like to give people things I make as a gesture of appreciation. I have a picture of a sea plane I took and then digitally altered. I figure he can always re-gift it if he doesn't like it. What do you think? Stupid?
thanks for any input

Hi Marlene!

So good to see you, and your daughter is a very good photographer.

I posted the picture.
i dont think it is lame at all,you might want to give it to him privately,as it sounds like your co-workers are total expletives. i think it would be a nice thing to do.thumbs up
I think everyone likes to be appreciated. Being thoughtful is never a bad thing.wave

If you like your manager & you want to give him a leaving gift - go for it.

People always like gift's and your gift will give him plenty idea's of where he might want to go or visit.

So don't feel stupid - it's a nice gesture thumbs up

cool
diamond, I am sure he will appreciate your attentionhug teddybear So go on with the giftthumbs up wink
Yes, nothing weird if you give him a gift to say good bye and you enjoyed when He worked with your team. peace
Nothing wrong with giving the gift DW, and I'm sure he will treasure it and will look to keep in touch with you applause

As for your colleagues, well who cares, though 1 or 2 may tink you are doing it to get his position, but that's their problem snooty

Nice picture, its like a cessna or pipeercub, (I know the military ones better), and obviously fits in nicely with him moving on.. cool
DW, go on give him the gift. Its beautiful. teddybear

I go with sleepingbird's suggestion. Do it but be careful!
