Weil Gotshal & Manges Tax Associate's Funny Departure Memo Includes A Clever ‘Rickroll’

Above the Law, Biglaw Farewell Memo Is A Classic Of The Genre:

Subject: Veni, Vidi, Arrivederci

Dearest Weil Fam,

I’m emailing to notify you that henceforward, any inappropriate communications from me will be reportable to the local authorities, not HR, because today is my last day at the firm.

My two and a half years here have far surpassed the professional experience I’d dreamt of. That’s partly because I don’t have an active social life, and I’m rarely let out in public. But that’s also thanks to the incredible people that I’ve met and worked with along the way. Thank you for all your support, guidance, friendship, and tolerance of my eccentricities (however successful you may have been at hiding your annoyance). There are so many people that I want to single out for their positive impact on my Weil career that I had to list them all in a separate document attached hereto.

For my next act, I will be joining XXX’s National Tax group as a managing director. Please feel free to keep in touch by email XXX or text XXX or by following my continuing adventures in tax on LinkedIn.

It has been an honor and privilege to be your colleague.

Attachment:  If you opened this, please know:

1. There's a 91% chance your name would have been listed had I actually written out all the amazing people I've encountered at Weil, and
2. You have been rickrolled with the utmost respect and affection.
