No Cake
When an employee leaves my university, there are two ways to say good-bye.
1. If fired, the good-bye is in the form of an email message to the campus community from the employee's supervisor, stating that he/she is pursuing other professional interests.
2. If a person chooses to leave, there is a gathering on campus that usually involves mediocre cake and talking to people you usually don't see who want to take a break from work and eat bad cake.
At a non-educational workplace, apparently things are different. An outgoing chief executive at Nike (world headquarters in Beaverton, OR - about 10 miles from our house) received $579,649 from the company for home remodeling.
I will be checking Nike's employment website.

i just hope you appreciate living in the U.S. because you KNOW the nike employees in other countries ain't gettin' no $579,649 to cover the bills for the bad eyes and carpal tunnel syndrome they've spent their lives developing!
