Reactions of colleagues when they hear you are resigning

These are some reactions you will get when the news of your resignation is made known to your other co-workers.

Type 1: The try-all-means-and-ways to make you stay
This type is likely to be your buddy or partner in crime at work. Sitting beside you and complaining to you everyday. When you not around, they will have no one to complain to. So they try all means to make you stay.

Type 2: The I'm-gonna-do-it-too
This is the type where usually you wouldn't speak to but suddenly when they heard you're resigning, they come to you to wish you luck and ask you additional questions. "Hey, how was the talk with the boss like? Did she get angry when you ask her that? Can I borrow your resignation letter? 我已经算好了,明年一月去生孩子,放假四个月。在第三个月就交辞职信。刚好!"

Type 3: The I-also-want-to-leave-but-I-can't
Usually these are the old birds who think they are stuck with the job because they can't fly anymore. They will say they envy you can make this decision; they have got a family to feed etc.

Type 4: The well-wishers
Self-explanatory. People who know you better will wish more things.

Type 5: The debt-collector
This type comes after you because you still owe them some deadlines. They will come haunt you till you finally give them the goods.

Type 6: The co-llaborators
They hear that you are going to start your own business and check to see if you will want a business partner because they have been thinking of leaving but have done nothing about it.
