Help me formulate the dullest response to colleagues when they goad me into telling them why I quit
This happens in Germany.
Work culture doesn't fit my personality: I don't talk much, I keep to myself, I simply want to do my job and go home, I separate my personal life from work, my colleagues are full fledged gossips, ignore the duties that need to be done and then expect me to help them when they are late. I don't have patience for that crap anymore.
Due to internal regulations, I have to stay on the unit for 4 weeks after sending my notice. Answering honestly the question of why I'm quitting would ensure that they yell at me and bully me, and I don't want to experience that again. Even saying 'it's none of your business' ensures that they feel insulted and start yelling. I have decided I don't have patience for people like that anymore.
So, what do I say?
Will they find out that you quit? Would your supervisor tell them?
Also can't you just use your remaining vacations and call in sick to reduce the amount of time interacting with them?
Just a note on this one. He may not have told his supervisor, at least where I live you don't have to tell them why.
Not the reason, just that they quit. Some supervisors wouldn't tell the staff for a number of reasons
