She is leaving within the hour. What do I do? I hate this kind of shit. She was my secretary for 3+ years - we've never hugged before (or even shook hands or anything). I mean we were friendly and I like her but I certainly don't want to hug her or anything.
 
I don't really see the harm in hugging her if that is where the goodbye discussion takes you, but obviously let her initiate it.
 
This is going to be awkward because I definitely think she is a hugger. Maybe I'll go take a shit for the next hour.
 
Why the big deal about a possible single hug? I could see if it was an every day occurrence since I am not a hugger myself, but a solitary time? I don't see the harm in that at all.

YES. I don't want to be touched at work.
 
My VP hugged me in our 2009 review meeting for the entire client team this morning. (Over a hundred people) The odd thing was, he hugged me because I asked why they judged employee morale so differently (less important) than customer satisfaction.

It wasn't at all awkward when the room broke into laughter.
 
I actually don't mind the hug - it's the awkwardness leading up to the hug that bothers me. What if she leans in? What if we both move our heads to the same side? How long is the hug? Is there a squeeze involved? A pat on the back?
 
As a kid you dreaded that first kiss, didn't you?

Just go for it.

I also recommend an ass-grab, if you can slip it in.

There should definitely be some squeezing involved.
 
Don't forget the suggestive rubbing of her back, and remember to take a deep whiff from her hair. Send her off well.. with a sexual harassment lawsuit!

Pat on the back is totally appropriate; it's the altitude that can make it inappropriate.
 
It's over. That was fast. She came right in - one armed hug and she was leaning to one side the whole time so I knew which way to go. Then she started crying. Whew!

That's what you get for listening to all the sickos on this board. Prepare for a lawsuit.

And don't forget to hug the new hire! :)

Good idea, I'm already in NJ, so he'll pick me over the NY scum!
 
An unexpected hug is far better than standing there like a jag if it starts without you knowing. Always go for (and initiate) the hug. If you smell good that day, you'll probably send them off moist.

Hug her? You need to bend her over your desk with her sexy garters showing and give her the goodbye sausage. :bomb::hot:
 
For future reference...

Your head goes to the right. Squeeze and pat are both acceptable. Don't worry about the lean. Time isn't something that you really need to worry about; it's hard to fuck up.

I would love a CAG secretary. Too bad that my cheapass office is just eliminating her position so now all secretaries have 4 people to handle instead of 3 (which was already too many).
 
[quote name='tcrash247']She's quitting, slap her in the face and say "AND NEVER COME BACK!"[/QUOTE]


lmao funny shit. seriously op if shes hott go for the hug and maybe it will morph into something else.......
like a blow job
. in all seriousness its just a hug unless she has bad breath or stinks just do it. or if shes a tranny that would be one hell of an akward hug especially if shes a preop then youd have to worry about touching lightsabers.
 
[quote name='fatherofcaitlyn']I'm disappointed.

1. No "stick it in her pooper" comment.

2. No reference to the "side hug" thread.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='JolietJake']Give her the christian side hug.[/QUOTE]

Yep, not a one.;)

I just lost interest in this thread.

Methinks some in this thread watch too much porn.

Or maybe everything they know about offices they learned from "Naughty Office".
 
I am really glad my glitter joke has stood the test of time. I cant even remember what comedian I took that from. But I am glad to have started that running gag.

Aww, man, now I'm hungry...
 
After reading this entire thread I realize you've worked with this woman for 3 years and I honestly think it's kinda weird you didn't give the woman a hug. Perfect example: u exchange a small gift around Xmas- that would be hug time. Lol
