In the farewell email an Employee forgets to use European words; colleagues disappointed

05, Jan 2018 By Fake It Nepal
Kathmandu: Sita Kumari, a banking employee working at a top bank, has reportedly disappointed her friends and colleagues by sending a pretty ordinary goodbye email before leaving the office on her last working day with the company.
It is a usual practice among employees leaving the company to search for adieu emails of ex-colleagues for copy-pasting the farewell content into their last working day emails.
If old emails do not have interesting content, the resignees spend hours on Google researching the best language to say good-bye in. Au Revoir, Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Zaijian and Sayonara are some of the examples.
Choosing European languages like French, German and Spanish, or Asian languages like Japanese and Chinese for writing goodbye in subject line has proved to be a hit among young employees making this range a widely accepted one.
Unfortunately, Sita Kumari knew only English and didn’t even have an idea that she needs to choose a foreign language to make her adieu attractive and stylish. She went ahead and decided to use Nepali in the subject line in spite of repeated requests from her neighbor to not create an awkward environment by using Nepali languages and to maintain some decency at work place, which was a bit difficult for her.
“Atti nai vayo” is the subject line I chose. I felt it was inherently beautiful and would easily be understood by everyone in the Bcc list. To my surprise, I saw a few colleagues scoffing at me as I walked across the corridor. I’m still unable to understand what their problem is,” a clueless Sita said as she walked into HR chamber to collect her experience letter.
In a tit-for-tat response to Nepalis using “Sayonara” in their emails, resigned employees in Japan have started using “Subha Bidai” in their last working day emails.
Email etiquette trainers have confirmed this news and said that the style factor in a last working day email comes only by using languages of other countries while using English or local language will result in a shift-delete action from colleagues.

It was a bright sunny day in the month of Falgun and was scheduled to kill his time by watching the Nepal Army practicing their drills for Democracy Day in Tundikhel and was passing through Kamaladi (Unofficial Wall Street of Nepal). While staring a beautiful girl entering one of the bank’s branches, he noticed something wrong in the entrance of the branch. He is expert in checking time and date in his mobile every 2 minutes and reveals it’s very useful in killing time and have an impression on others to be a very busy person. His activist spirit took over his body and he naturally walked to the bank’s entrance and started rubbing the “PUSH” signage. In no time, the security personnel of the bank held him up in NY Police style and started...

21, Feb 2018  By Fake It Nepal Kathmandu:  Los-Angeles based Virgin Hyperloop One on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nepal government to build and develop the world’s first operational hyperloop between Mechi and Mahakali. This will decrease the travel time between Mechi and Mahakali to 2 hours. Even though the final project delivery will take several years, experts are confident that the hyperloop will be functional well before East West Railway. East West Railway is a project more mysterious than the Bermuda Triangle as nobody has been able to figure out the purpose of the feasibility study conducted over a period of last 400 years for the East West Railway. The government has promised that the railway will run in next few years, but that promise has been taken the same way as ‘ Voli Deki Raksi Bandh”  promises. Now the experts have weighed in and said that the proposed Mechi-Mahakali hyperloop will be completed well ...
