That's like me having a job at M&S and then getting a new job at LIDI. Then wondering why M&S are pissed and not giving me a big party, champagne and flowers with a big goodbye like I expected them to. Are you mad.

We all have different life experiences, but I can honestly say that I've never worked anywhere where a person wouldn't be given a send-off if leaving for a competitor, usually with jokes about the team at the competitor being nowhere as nice, etc.

Clearly, there are other factors at play when you're effectively part of the brand and we're talking about an on air send-off, but I guess what I'm saying is... this is absolutely nothing like leaving M&S for Lidl.
