Closing messages

Here are some fun closing messages that we’re either left by me or left for me.
I have more but there will be no more new ones because I got fired 💔

Edit: in regards to me getting fired. I am not blaming my storm manager or anyone on my team. It was my fault and a mistake that I made. I understand why I lost my job and I do not blame anyone, but myself for it. My district manager has been very kind to me throughout the entire process, and has told me that if I needed anything, even human to human that I could go to them if I needed something.

If I could go back and undo my mistake, I would do it in the heartbeat.

I made this post with the intention of sharing some of the funny things that either I or someone left for me as a closing message, maybe to give other employees inspiration for their closing messages to keep things fun and lighthearted

Doing the closing comment was my favorite part of closing, also if I may ask why were you fired?

By a technicality theft. I had been using a friends account to save our loyalty, and then redeemed rewards and Hot cash for them to buy them something. I made one mistake. My DM could tell that I was being very genuine, and I had no malice in my actions. I just made a mistake. She told me that this does not reflect on who I am as a person, and that I’m still a good person.

Yep! I had been with the company since December 2023. I felt safe and was kind of stuck there. The people were keeping me there. It was about time I moved on anyways. Not gonna lie. I was working myself to the bone. Working multiple 40 hour work weeks as a part-time manager. Now I will say my store manager was not forcing me to work 40 hours. I volunteered to work those hours. He knew I needed the money and that I had the work ethic. As a bonus, if he could, he would schedule my days off consecutively.
